MOA vs MIL

[Elkeater]

MOA for this guy. I just think that way. I'm sure I could use mils but I just keep things simple by running all MOA optics.

I have both, more Moa scopes than Mils, but I prefer Mils. I find it easier to make wind calls with tenths of a mil than half of an moa.
Also the numbers on moa get so large, dialing up 63.75moa and making an 18.5moa wind call gets large.
Next scope I buy will be in Mils

Would that be a Mile shot?

NO one says to their self, "That is 500 yards.... That is 45 inches of drop.... 5.23 inches at 500 yards is 1 MOA,.....45 inches divided by 5.23 equals 8.6,... so I need 8.6 MOA...".

Nope. a 1 MOA correction is very close to a 0.3 MIL correction. 3.438 MOA = 1 MIL.

1 moa = 0.291 mil

So add I stand here making bullets and wrapping my head around mils. Roughly a 3/4 mil correction runs close to 1 moa correction.

There's roughly 3 moa to 1 mil.

You think that Hathcock was on the line at Camp Perry figuring his adjustments in inches, when he had MOA adjustments on his sights?

Do you think he switched the system he was so intimately familiar with when he went to Vietnam to hunt people?

Old school for sure. We take a lot of our relatively new technology for granted already. As if it will never fail, and will always be there.

He took his time and more time and more time to make the best shot a little training goes a long way and trigger time knowing your rifle in any condition pays off. I am sure he won Wimbledon in the last 15 seconds... Ask yourself what took him so long to shoot what was he doing?

I would have said he was waiting for a more favorable wind condition.

But apparently, according to you....math.

Converting to Mils. A lot easier at the range.

The smaller numbers associated with mils are nicer. I find some of the reticles for mil better. Definitely a preference and what you're used to thing. Once you make a dope chart neither make a huge difference

My vote is MOA. It's what I learned on and I don't like change once I pick something
