Is this accuracy normal for standard softpoint hunting rounds？

I think the optic has a lot to do with accuracy.  
If you try shoot at 3x and 9x, 9x will be better.
Since I was using 16x. I shoot better than 9x.  
I'm thinking buy the nikon buckmaster 6-18x40 or even higher magnification for target shooting.

9x is not very good when you target shoot 200 yard.
It's good for 100yard.

As you know, hunting is very different from shooting paper.
That's why I want to find a farm to shoot coyote to improve my skill.
I asked this question yesterday to the conservation police officer, he told me to try those farmer that has cattle or turkey. Offer help to farmer and they normally will let you hunt.

For hunting even 300 yard deer size game, 3-9x40 is good enough.
I personally prefer 4-16 from a reputable company.
Most like I will use low power. But I want high power to be available if I need it.

maybe I will use 6-18 scope with a red dot.

For Illinois deer. I will only use red dot.

I shot 3moa using just red dot and sabot slug.
I shot the Winchester super x.  40 round. Most within 3moa and near the target Center so I'm confident.
Me and pl bought these ammo at very good price at gat guns.

有木有2-20x的scope？或者3-30x的？

目前我只看到bushnell 4.5-30x tactical.
