[QUOTE="pony doctor, post: 1868841, member: 82040"] This thread is getting focused in on MOA! Many have learned to think in this dimension and that is what I think makes it all work right. An Elk has an 18 inch diameter kill zone for example. at 600 yards, that is 3 MOA! Knowing this helps one to decide if he has defined a wind adjustment of 4 MOA, and the wind is not as you expected or calculated, it is entirely possible to wound an animal at that distance. Here, the solution involves a bullet designed to buck the wind, carry the distance within the 3 MOA or less, carry enough energy to be lethal etc etc considering the bullet may strike the point of the shoulder or ???? Do you take the shot or get closer? Dead calm practice says your bullet strikes within 1/2 MOA pattern. All's good but....... what if you need a 4 MOA correction and your wrong? [/QUOTE]
