    Without knowing the size of the steel at 100, 200, or 300 yards, the normality of the feat can't be judged.

    Any M1A, even a SuperMatch, that's a true 1/2 MOA rifle is very rare.

    Good catch Grizz.

    The best 4 out of 5 100 yard group I obtained was .60" with hand loaded 168 Hornadys. I should have checked my records, since my brain was apparently thinking of another rifle. The Super Match is around a 1" rifle all day.

    The steel was 12x26 except for 500 which was more like 18x26.

    You buy the M1A/M14 to feel the nostalgia of wood and steel in your hands. If you actually want something that performs throw the M1A in the trash because its basically worthless as a precision rifle and buy a AR-10, SR-25 or SCAR heavy.

    1 MOA or better is achievable out of a quality built M1A and is good enough as a precision semi-auto.
