You only need to have enough MOA, for the shoot you are in, to beat out the other shooters groups. And that will vary for match to match.

It is plain to see his rifle does not like that ammunition. That would be a good 300 yard group in ideal conditions.

Pure accuracy is important, however the shooter must be able to effectively use their equipment in ever changing conditions. This is true in both smallbore as well as bigbore and pure accuracy seldom is the reason why someone wins a particular match. Great starting point but shot execution, and wind reading abilities are actually more important than a rifle that will shoot an exceptionally small group while being tested.

To keep it real on accuracy expectations, we need to be mindful of mirage. It takes a lot of experience to shoot small groups when mirage is moving the target image around while you are shooting.

As soon as the weather breaks, I will post a video how I like to to watch, test for and compensate for mirage refraction, but for now, here’s a link showing how mirage will push the target image around. Shooting small groups in mirage like this is no small thing… no mater what rifle you have.
