Nope, assuming a 6" barrel, it is 0.025 feet or 0.3 inches at the barrel.

Simple ratios. 1000 yards is 3000 feet. So 150:3000 = 0.025:0.5 = 0.3:6

Seeing as he said that it was a 150 foot holdover, I think it was pretty darn impressive to hit the steel on the second shot. Better than "not bad" in my book. :tiphat:
