20moa vs. 15 moa

[jasonstewart]

im new to the long range shooting and was trying to determine how much difference there would be at 1000 yds with a 15 moa versus a 20 moa. im not to good at math, so figuting it out on my own is kinda out of the question. thanks, jason

I've changed my answer twice now and now you have me confused.

I'm sticking with 52.35"

 

[Kevin Cram]

1 moa is technically 1.047" @ 100 yards

so 1 moa at 1000= 10.470"

10.470 x 5 moa = 52.350"

MagMan is absolutely correct.

5 MOA even!

5 MOA even!

At 100 or 1000?

You laugh but I changed mine from 52.35" to 10.47" and back after I reread his question about 3 times.

LOL!

Doesnt matter what range! 20MOA minus 15MOA = 5MOA!

 

[Michael Eichele]

In all seriousness, 5MOA at 1K = as posted already. 52.35" at 1K.

Like you said, it depends on how you interperet the question.

This might be a dumb question, what does MOA stand for and what does it mean? I think I have an idea , but it is not clear. BB

In case you dont know, 1 MOA = 1/60th of 1 degree.
