[QUOTE="JeffP40, post: 721177, member: 6625"] I saw you reference metrics in the first post. Do not think that mils are metric. They are not. It is simply breaking down a circle into 1000 points. It has nothing to do with a unit of measurement. It is an angular measurement. One yard at 1000 yards. If you convert it to inches, 36 at 1000. 3.6 at 100. The only metric measurement would be 1 meter at 1000 meters. It has nothing to do with thinking in yards or meters. I believe it is most useful if you are ranging with your scope reticule. A lot of guys do this for ranging and shooting, or in competitions. moa, mils, or iphy (Iches Per Hundred Yards), are all ways of doing essentially the same thing. Pick one, use it, learn it, and shoot stuff. [/QUOTE]
