Just for giggles.......

Anyone who shoots a rifle beyond plinking will get this

1 MOA at 1000 yards is 8"

1/2 MOA at 1000 yards is 4"

1/2 MOA is very good shooting

80 Km = 87,489 yards

87.489 X 8 = 699.912 ( lets call it 700 inches to keep it simple )

700 inches is 17.78m

So at 80km 1 MOA is 17.8m ( close enough )

A 1m CEP (Circular Error Probable)at 80km is like putting 5 shots through the same hole at 100m with no measured deviation in the size of the hole in relation to the diameter of the projectile

......only it's being done with a 155mm cannon
