A question of scale?

Hullo.

I was perusing some old load data and targets this evening over a delicious Malt, when I came across this particular half inch grid target (nothing spectacular) which made me pause and lead me to ask this (I hope not embarrassing) question; As all the rounds are roughly in the bottom right quadrant making it pretty much a half a minute group: Does this mean that a half minute group is four times better than a 1 minute group, or do we have to start getting Pi involved and diluting things further?  You can tell I'm bored!

Thankfully on this one pi comes out in the wash. 
As long as your definition of "better" is the area of the potential impact , then yes a 0.5 MOA group is 4 times "better" than a 1 MOA group.

Since the measurement of a group size is in a straight line between the centers of furthest bullet holes, the "half inch" group is "twice as good". If you want to reinvent the process and measure area, then yes: 4 X as good.~Andrew
