[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1455112, member: 8873"] Guess you have a point there, been a shooter for many years and nobody has ever brought that up. Guess the difference between military/shooter lingo and something like machine work could confuse someone. However I’ve never heard anyone adjust a scope or give a correction in mm (what I thought was the standard abbreviation for millimeter, not mil). Centimeters (cm) scope adjustments yes, but not mm. Even then, when I see a scope adjustment in cm I just know it’s mil (milliradian) and don’t give it another thought. The abbreviation for milliradian or “mils” is a “m” with a right hash mark through it, to distinguish it from meters (kinda hard to do on a phone). We do however use mm in the characteristics of weapon systems, such as 7.62x51mm chamberings or 2 & 7mm peep sights. You say MRAD in some some circles and they will think a type of radar system. Guess in this case it’s assumed the person or audience would know the correct unit of measurement for the intended purpose. But did you at least check my math?:D [/QUOTE]
