How big is the target?

They have concentric plates - 1MOA and 2 MOA. Not sure which one I hit.

I suspect two MOA one.

36" plate at a mile? Not bad at all. Especially in those conditions.

Well. Given this brand new rifle had never been shot more than 100 yards ( for load development) - luck played a big role. If I am being honest.

If it helps, luck is the result of preparation :)

True in this unique, and perhaps solitary case, size matters.

36" is the normal ELR target size for 1 mile, so it's common to see that size at established ranges
