[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 673272, member: 47325"] Military uses mills because it was developed for artillery and being that it is a tried and true method that is already taught, it's much simpler for them to continue to use a system that is already in use and understood than to try to teach a whole nother system for a relatively similar task. It is somewhat more complicated than MOA as MOA is 10based math which you already understand. I was taught to use Mills by a close friend that was a Marine Scout Sniper, I understand how Mills work and the math but most scopes are based on MOA, and range estimation is very similar between both just different math and numbers. What you'll have to keep strait with MOA is that most civilian Mildot scopes subtend a distance based on inches, but your scope turrets work in MOA. Clear as mud? it's not as complicated in practice as it sounds. [/QUOTE]
