I was counting the Xes in with the 10's only because they're worth more with ties.

Hitting a golf ball every time at 300 requires almost a 2 in. (2/3 MOA) maximum group with 30 caliber bullets. Such accuracy at 300 opens to at least 9/10ths MOA at 600. As you missed the ball by some unknown amount, it's far to say maybe at least half again as much as the ball itself is; maybe an inch or more. And 50% more than 9/10ths MOA at 600 is about 1-1/3 MOA.

But 7 out of 10 on golf balls is pretty darned good shooting off the shoulder even with a rest under the stock's fore end.
