[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1908098, member: 112192"] As the last few people have alluded to, you need completely eliminate any thought of "inches" from your thought process, at least for the time being. In no way do you need to worry or think about inches unless like 300 said, you're using your reticle for range estimation - which you're not doing right now. Only think MILs. Only think MILs. Only think MILs. ;) When you spot your miss on target, and your brain starts to think "that looks about 4 inches left......" STOP! Don't go there any more. Simply use your reticle to measure from your POA to the POI and adjust accordingly. So if you measure half a MIL, move your turret .5 MILs to adjust. I was in your boat recently and it wasn't until I made myself give up any thought of inches that it all finally clicked for me. It's so simple, so easy, and so fast to use MILs as they are intended to be used ... you just have to get your brain to shut off inches. [/QUOTE]
