[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1235164, member: 9299"] I use an F-Class standard of 1 MOA 10 ring as an acceptable target for larger game animal practice, but try to hold and shoot for the X ring 1/2 MOA. I stay fairly consistent at 1/2 MOA in the 1,000 or so range, as we practice on marmot and fat P-dog gongs at that range. I have made a 1,031 yd P-dog kill with a 25-06 and 85 BT @ 3,600 fps. The 22-250 AI's with 75's make these 1,000 yd hits with regularity. At 1,500 yards, I have routinely practiced on 12x18" torso gongs, and if conditions are good, and I am too, the groupings are about 8 to 10 inches our so. At this range, mirage and wind are big factors and require astute reading. My 300 RUM's are setup for about 2,000 yards, but to date, I haven't shot past 1,500 yds. A few of us are planning a 1 mile shoot soon, so I will give feedback after that practice. Target size was agreed to be a 20" gong, as a couple of the shooters are not in the 1/2-3/4 moa prone yet.
