1MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards
or 1.145" at 100 metres.
1MOA at 200 yards is 2.094 inches
or 2.290" at 200 metres.
Close enough, but just FYI that's the exact figures.

Ball powders can be very accurate and I like the way they meter also but they are more temp sensitive than ADI powders that can upset accuracy in hot summer weather not that I shoot much in real hot weather anyway . I have used 760 in my 30-06 and it shoots real good . Ball powders are also very good for long term storage as they have high chemical stability .

They all last years and longer, yeah?

tom604 wrote:well in the beginning of this thread i said bm2 was good enough but i was wrong while i was getting moa out of it, all the talk of 1/2 moa or better slowly got to me so i broke and got some 2206h loaded up ten rounds each at 26.5,27.0 and 27.5 with a 50 gn vmax and off i went to see what they would do 27.0 was the pick of the crop with all groups shooting under moa. the two three shot groups went .5 and .4 with the four shot group blowing out to .8 average speed 3306 with a spread of 38 so i know im doing my loading right or at least good enough for me
just an fyi ... the hornady super performance averaged 3282 with a spread of 34
