[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 780331, member: 10306"] For most purposes you can consider that mill dots are metric. A mill is 1/6400 of a circle, which is very close to 1m at 1000 meters. MOA is 1/60th of a degree, or 1/21,600 of a full rotation. This works out very well with yards and inches. 1 MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards or 10.47" at 1000 yards. so most people use 1" and forget the .047, though after 1000 yards that can cause problems. The big thing is to know what your equipment is actually calibrated in. there are diffrent standards for mill-dots. I use MOA and Mill reticules, though I find it alot nicer to have matching reticules, turrets and rangefinder. [/QUOTE]
