[QUOTE="mbaysinger89, post: 2297354, member: 111991"] If you had an imperial/metric ruler and somebody asked you to tell them how long something was could you tell them in millimeters and inches? Its the same thing. MOA is read as a ruler in the reticle, mil is read as a ruler in the reticle. If you are using a ballistic calculator to figure range and dial, then estimating the hold off for the second shot once you missed it doesn't matter. If you use or want to use your reticle to range use mils. Converting MOA to inches is like converting a 75 mph sign on the interstate to 110 feet per second when your car has km/h speedometer just to convert it back to Im going to keep up with the second fastest guy. Completely useless. [/QUOTE]
