Is this 1 MOA?

[bczandm]

Is this 1 Min. of Angle? It was shot at 100 yards with a .308. I am try to understand MOA better and I think it's 1 MOA but would like someone to confirm. If not, what would it be measured as?
I am thinking it's 1 MOA on the horizontal and about 3/4 MOA on the vertical.
TIA,
Bob

Your numbers look about right to me. Can't tell for sure without calipers or some sort of measuring.

Given that your horizontal extremes are also the vertical extremes it might be just slightly over. Even if your windage and elevation spreads are independently under 1 moa, the group may not be under one moa when measured correctly.

Measure center to center of the two furthest holes to confirm. Or outside to outside and subtract your caliber.

Close enough to MOA for government work.

If you can hold a ten inch pattern at 1000 yards that would be MOA as well.

Yup, linear equation. 1 moa = 1" @100, 2" @200 etc.

Linear equation. But otherwise yes, what he said.

Damn that linear stuff. I bet they don't deal with that tough stuff in Common Core ...

Assuming that the grid is 1 inch on a side, your group is a bit over 1 MOA. But not by much. That the group has more horizontal dispersion than vertical leads one to think that the rifle is more than capable of 1MOA given calm air and good hold. Usually ...

In Common Core this problem would be: "please write 2 paragraphs about why guns are bad, then draw a picture of a circle."
