".57 MOA" is a pretty arbitrary number. How do you come up with such an exacting figure? One of the rifles ive posted groups of in this thread will shoot . In the .2's at 400 yards with 3 shot groups, when checking POI. The same rifle shoots an average of .5-.6 moa for 2 10 shot groups, shot on the same target (as in the moa all day long shoot here). I'm just wondering how a person arrives at such an exacting number ("0.57")? Let me know and I'll start calculating my group averages in the same manner. Where's mathman? Maybe he knows the definitive secret.

My range is 100 meters. I measure my groups with a caliper. Then I change to MOA. The targets measure .65" for five shots and three groups, at 100 meters it comes out to .57 MOA. There is nothing arbitrary about it!
