[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2138147, member: 8873"] As 338 Dude stated, you are correct in that MOA is not exactly 1” per 100 yards, it’s 1.047”. People round it to 1” to make the math easier, this is called a Shooter Minute of Angle. The thing is that eventually that .047” adds up and needs to be accounted for. Example: @ 600 yards a true moa is 6.42” not 6”. Big whoop right, can you hold or shoot the .42” difference at that distance? Maybe, maybe not. But what if you are adjusting (dialing) your turrets to compensate for the drop of your bullet at that distance and your ballistic app says you have to come up 16 moa to do so. If using true moa that is 102.72” of adjustment @ 600, if using shooter moa it is 96”. Does that 6.72” difference in the two matter to you? If precision is the name of the game you bet your sweet bippy it does. And I’m going back to bed! [/QUOTE]
