[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1998544, member: 42494"] Treeslug, since you asked, let me enlighten you then. A 1 MOA accurate rifle shoots 1" groups at 100 yds and a 2 MOA accurate rifle shoots 2" groups at 100 yds, etc., etc. The way this knowledge is applied is you multiple the MOA accuracy by the number of 100s in your yardage. So 2" at 100 yards equates to 14" at 700 yds (2 x 7 = 14). This means at 700 yds you can expect all of your bullets to impact within a 14" circle. Now lets apply this information to the elk. An elk measures 24 inches typically from the brisket to the back (more than 24" a for large bull elk). So, for a 2 MOA accurate rifle, you can reasonably expect the bullet to impact an elk in the kill zone if the shooter does his/her part (14" is smaller than 24"). Hope that helps you understand my abbreviated sentence. As you learn to shoot long distance, you'll be able to understand this concept better, just have patience and practice a lot. [/QUOTE]
