The groups look alright for that range, what ammo are you using?

Sounds like I might have unrealistic expectations Using Fiocchi .223 55gr
4moa is 4moa at any distance.
Lightweight barrels, lightweight guns in general magnify every shooter error, they’re simply much less forgiving to shoot.
Those barrels aren’t known or great accuracy, the ammo is not match ammo, it’s not a precision optic, there’s just a lot going against you looking for small group size.
Since the target is twice as far it has the effect of being 8 moa now. You're right the dot hasn't changed size but the target has gotten smaller by half. Move the an 8" target to 300 yds and see how much of it is covered, move it to 25 yds. That dot will cover more or less depending on the range.
Y'all are confusing Minutes of Angle with Inches at X Hundred Yards.
4 MOA at 100yd = 4 MOA at 200yd = 4 Inches at 100yd = 8 Inches at 200yd (Approximately)
Just one of many links to MOA/MIL, etc etc. Speak in MIL, speak on MOA, in the end, same thing. 1 MOA subtends to 1.047" per hundred yards, field math 1" per 100 yards as stated. Field math MILS 1/10=.36" and 1 MIL=3.5" per 100 yards (true 3.66, 3.5x1.047=)

GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
Those kinds of targets suck to get any consistent POA, especially with a RDS.
I much prefer targets with 90 degree angles / shapes (diamonds, or squares turned 45 degrees) so I can focus at that one point for each and every shot. At least for solid zeroing / confirming accuracy, then I move on to fun stuff like shooting steel at different ranges.
Also turn your RDS down to where you and just see it. If it's uber bright it will be hard to see any definition in the dot.
