Default RE: Help needed on measuring target groups

Hammer49

I have a post below that shows two groups I shot yesterday. How do I go about measuring the groups? I'm obviously very pleased with them, but would love to know if they are MOA (am I saying that correctly?). Also, what does MOA (if that's correct) mean?
MOA - Minute of Angle - size of the group

Measure the lay out of the size of the group - at the widest spread(outside to outside)- then subtract the size of bullet you are shooting...

Example if you measure 1" outside to outside at the widest point and you are shooting a .45 cal bullet - subtract .45 from 1.0.

I am not the best writing explanations hope this helps....
