[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 561033, member: 10391"] If at 300 yards you missed your point of aim by 3 MOA that is a error of 9.42 inches. That would work with a 19 inch kill zone. For long range hunting you really need 1 MOA of accuracy or better. With an error of 1 MOA at 300 you would be off 3.14 from point of aim but inside the 8 inch kill zone. When you get beyond 500 yards a 1/2 MOA rifle is necessary. Many people can shoot 1/2 MOA at 300 yards but the group is from a few too many inches away from the point of aim. What's optimum in my world is 1/2 MOA at 300 yards. This equates to an approximate group size of 1 1/2 inches centered at the point of aim at 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
