[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2278152, member: 116181"] Yeah trying to do the conversion math is begging for a headache. So keep it simple; a mil is 1/10th at 100 of [I]anything[/I]. It's 1/10th of a yard at 100 yards. A yard is 36 inches, a tenth of a yard is 3.6 inches. A mil is 3.6 inches at 100 yards. A tenth of a mil is 0.36 inches at 100 yards. It's 1 yard at 1000 yards. It's 10cm at 100m. It's 1m at 1000m. It's a palm width at 1000 palm widths. The 0.1 to 100 ratio is always the answer. The units don't matter at all other than being consistent/ not mixing them up. Mils work perfectly in metric or imperial units. [/QUOTE]
