Rifle Scopes MOA or MIL for hunting and general shooting???

Re: MOA or MIL for hunting and general shooting???

Doing math in your head is great at relatively short distances. At longer distances, it won't suffice. Probably no one tries to use reticle ranging at 1000 yards, but just as an example, with a typical .308, a 20-yard range error on a target at that distance results in missing.

But with a Mildot Master, which works with mil, MOA, and IPHY reticles, there's no reason to do math in your head.

as an example 24 inches x 95.9 / 2moa = 1146 yards

2400 / 2moa = 1200 - 60 (5%) = 1140.

For hunting the error is so minimal that I am not concerned with it. I can do
it in a second or two in my head. The longest shot I have ever taken was 470
at an animal so it has worked well. Holding the scope steady enough to gauge
the height is always my biggest problem in ranging, not the .5% in the math.

This pompous self righteous shit is what I don't like.Hell,I have been trying to find out about Lehigh bullets and people actually shoot them for over a month.Still come up dry from anyone except the manufacturer.

Hope this helps. Didn't know there still were actual stonemasons in this day in age. That's kinda cool.

Yea,some of us actual Stonemasons still exist.Funny thing is that real craftsmen can survive even in a down economy.Look at the stuff we do as a hobby,or actually in the case of tactical rifles,a job.Not too many guys and gals out there that are at the top.These are the people that should survive,they are the pro's.

I do this shooting as a hobby,some do it as a living,but I will always support the people that are willing to do the best job and give the best service
