[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2270973, member: 118823"] What I think the metric mils actually are is a system where they said ok at 1000 meters we will make a milliradian 1/1000 of that. Then they went back to the circle and calculated how big a radian needed to be. Would be like if they said exactly 1” at 100 is 1 MOA and then went back and figured out how big a degree needed to be to get 1/60 of it to be exactly 1” at 100. Just like they decided that a box that measures 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm would equal 1 milliliter. That way a length measurement corresponded to a volume measurement. So the 1/6400 is 1/6400 of a circle and not 1/6400 of a degree. 60x360=21600 minutes in a circle? So maybe milliradians???? Heck if I know. LOL Gonna have to do me some research. [/QUOTE]
