Sight picture depends a lot of the reticle itself, and in a variable, weather you are using a first or second focal plane scope.
However even my FFP 36X IOR on my 308 gives me a good sight picture on a 1MOA plate at 1K to where I can stay around 1/2 MOA ( appprox. 5") if I pay attention to the condition.
The difference however is that I can stay AROUND 1/2 MOA, that is the size of the Vbull on an Fclass target- accomplished Fclassers stay IN the V Bulll, NOT around it!
