[QUOTE="CapDog, post: 526133, member: 6079"] I would agree with simplistic, but entirely incorrect? Not exactly. 1.0 MIL is equivilant to 10cm at 100m. The 0.1mil clicks found on most mil based scopes is 1cm at 100m. Like you stated it is an angular measurment, the departure from it's start increases, just like MOA. So at 200m 1.0 MIL equals 20cm, 30cm at 300m etc. A 0.1mil click would be 1cm, 2cm, 3cm etc. I'm 5'11" tall so 71" or 180cm. If you were to range me using a MIL scope and come up with 3.0 MILS the formulas would be as follows: 71" x 25.4 / 3.0mil = 601m 180cm / 3.0 mil x 10 = 600m Using your 18" steel target 18" x 25.4 / 3.0 = 152.4m 46cm / 3.0 x 10 = 153.4m If you were using an MOA scope to come up with ranges in yards it would be: inches/size of object in MOA x 100 Using a measurement of 12MOA with the above known object sizes: 71/12 x 100 = 592 yards 18/12 x 100 = 150 yards I can do the second formulas for MILS and the MOA to yards in my head or very quickly on a scratch pad, as they are just moving decimals around. From a simpltons point of view having used both systems, if you think in inches and yards I would go MOA if you think in centimeters and meters MILS may be your best bet. As far as scope adjustments you can do your same zeroing scenario with an MOA/MOA scope [/QUOTE]
