[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 268571, member: 1007"] I certainly am not trying to argue here but I have found using the 1 MOA = 1" at 100 yards rule of thumb a good way to miss a shot clean at ranges like 800+ yards. Example: When you have a chart that tells you your bullet drops 300" at 1K and you wish to dial it and you use the one click = .25" at 100 yard rule, you will miss your target by 15". One click is NOT .25" It is .25 MOA which is .26175" You would be off by 6 clicks or roughly 15 inches. I also am a huge fan of the mil system. I use a MLR reticle and Mil turrets as well. To me it is just much simpler + I can estimate range MUCH easier with the mil system in case my laser takes a dump. I also highly recomend the MLR over the mildot. It is the same value but with 1/2 mil marks as well plus they are lines instead of dots. Lines cover over less of the target. [/QUOTE]
