Re: moa at 1000yrds
Work up some loads for your particular rifle. Keep the FPS at or above 2650 FPS and you should be fine.
I hit mine with 178gr A-Max over 44gr Varget loaded to 0.02 off the lands. At a much higher elevation though. This load for my rifle was a .3MOA at 100 yrds and .4MOA at 200yrds. That was the longest I could shoot paper at my local range.

Re: moa at 1000yrds
Not sure what your title means "MOA at 1000 yrds".
With a wind on my back, I believe my dope was at 38.5 minutes. But when the wind shifted to in my face, I think I was at 47 minutes.
Is that what you meant?

Re: moa at 1000yrds
Im assuming he is looking for a load that would hold 1MOA accuracy out to 1k Yards.

Re: moa at 1000yrds
Very top of the "Reloading" page is the "Reloading Depot" check there for recommended loads.

Re: moa at 1000yrds
There are plenty of loads that will hold 1MOA at 1000 yards, shooters that can keep up with the loads are more scarce.
An MOA sized target at 1k is not exactly an 'easy' shot. You can do it, sometimes on the first try if you're good, always on the second if you know how to drive the rifle and have solid fundamentals.
There is a misconception though that if you spend enough money in the right places the rifle and ammo will magically endow you with the ability to shoot a 1MOA target at 1000 yards 'all day long' and, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

This hits it squarely on the head.

Re: moa at 1000yrds
The "X" ring on a 1000 yard target is 1moa. The "10" ring is 2 moa.
Guys regularly shoot 9 out of 10 into the ten ring after sighters (which can be anywhere from one to ten shots, depending on the day).
Shooting a lot of "Xs" is another story. Our best shooters might have a 14X on their best days (i.e. two, twenty shot strings).
So, 1 moa at a thousand is a theoretical possibility, but in practice is very, very unlikely.

Sounds about right depending on the wind speed...

Sorry for delay in response,thanks for your info-sweet spot for this rig seems to be around 41.7-42 grains imr 4064-.030 of lands-br-2 primer-185 berger,I put the tube in a ax aics chasis,learning now how to spot weld my eye to the glass,this old dog is still learning new tricks.

Re: moa at 1000yrds
Sorry for delay in getting back to you,Was looking for a general starting point that others were loading to,that they felt was getting them one inch moa results at 1000 yrds, I know that every tube has its own appetite,but needed a base line to start off on, and I think that I have found that yellow brick road.

1 MOA at any distance is 1 MOA, stop trying to convert angular measurements to inches, in order to to be to shoot small groups at long distances one need to produce a load that has single digit SD and ES.
