[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1770042, member: 74902"] As I see it, one shouldn't really be using math with either system when in the field. Well unless you are using the reticle for ranging, but that is very rare when hunting. If I was able to spot my miss, I just measure with the reticle and correct by hold off with the reticle or dialing the correction, doesn't matter what the system is at that point. I do realize that Mils are easier to convey between the shooter and spotter. As in, it is easier say and understand something like "5.2 Mils" vs "17.75 MOA". But I think that is about it. Which, I think is one of the big draws for PRS guys. Other than that the differences aren't worth fighting about. I do a lot of my longrange practice on distant canyon wall and rock faces. It is super easy for me to measure my groups through a MOA reticle and equate that with how well my rife and me are shooting, so I use an MOA reticle. [/QUOTE]
