[QUOTE="jdavistx, post: 1944949, member: 89418"] Correct. 100/95.5 = 1.047". 1000 yards = 10.47" As a practical matter 0.47" at 1000 yards is way down on my priority list of things to do. The trig is correct... but it doesn't matter to me in the real world. Better to read the wind correctly as an example. If you actually shoot 0.25 MOA in a rifle or similar due to environmental and physical conditions, repeatability, cartridge etc, that's 2.6" [USER=69648]@1000 yards[/USER]. The MOA differential between a 1 vs 1.047 adds 0.47" to that. So as practical matter in the field, I use 1" in my head. It's 1/2/ inch [USER=7444]@1000YDS[/USER] or 2.6" vs a 3.1". I shoot MOA. Why? Mils have become more popular mostly because the math is somewhat easier if you use meters, but MOA gives better resolution. 1 MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards and 1 miliradian is 3.6" at 100 yards as established.
