[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 19877, member: 1522"] milanuk, You are absolutly correct with your figures. When I went through training with mil-dots we used 27.77 so old habits are hard to kick. For meters it is 25.4, but I choose to use a straight 25. I argued this point with my instructors and most of my class agreed with me. I've always considered a meter 10% longer than a yard. I like the KISS method of things in life and this has always been easier for me. 10% of 27.78 is 25, so that's why I've always used 25. But like you, I've had a Mil-Dot master since late 97 and have used it ever since. Single best investment anyone can make if they are using mil-dots for ranging. Thanks for keeping me honest and making sure everyone else understands what you and I are talking about. Have a great weekend. Jeff [/QUOTE]
