[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1792352, member: 112192"] You nailed it Dog, I've been mixing the "wrong" way to think of it and the "proper" way to think about it. I have my dope printed out so when I'm shooting at any given distance I think about it like "my 400 yard drop is 2.4mils ... but then when I spot a miss my head was switching to linear measurements and thinking "I missed 3" low and 7" right" and then trying to come up with the "x inches = y clicks correction based on that. Again in MOA that's pretty easy for me to do but not at all in MILs. I now see the folly with that method and will get myself to stop thinking that way. I only got into shooting about 8 years ago and didn't have anyone to help / mentor me so I'm all self-taught and I know I still have a lot to learn. Even thinking back over the years I can think of all the times I did exactly what you said above, trying to convert inches to a number of clicks instead of x number of MOA ... man I made that way harder than it needed to be. Thank you again for the great explanation! [/QUOTE]
