[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2836781, member: 70559"] Actually, a 2MOA rifle will only be off approximately 1" at 200 yards. My first elk was a ranged 400 yards. I had a confirmed 2MOA rifle and knew the bullet would hit within 4" of the point of aim. I was lying on a berm with the rifle as solid as if it were on a benchrest with sandbags. I aimed center of chest and let it rip. During gutting I discovered the 7mm 160 grain partition (muzzle velocity of 3,300 feet per second) destroyed the top of the heart and the connecting arteries and vessels. For those interested there was a 6" bruise on the skin around the entrance and a 3" bruise in the skin around the exit. [/QUOTE]
