If someone could give an answer that had some type of intelligent response, then maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation. I have been waiting this entire time for someone to post something along the lines of this. But no.. everything but this. That's it.. that simple. This was the first thing I learned and I practiced it.. not very practical compared to the tools we have and I would never bust this out at a match. So if your argument is, who gives a shit, I use Mil because of whatever random shit you want to tell yourself, then that's ok by me. My first Vortex Razor was MOA because I was like, who would use Mil, that's stupid.. Then I went to a match and was like.. ok.. I get it.
1 MOA spreads about 1″ per 100 yards. (actually 1.047″)
1 MOA is a different size at different distances, 8″ at 800 yards is still just 1 MOA.
This:
(Distance to target in yards) / (100) = inches per MOA at that distance
(Number of inches of adjustment needed) / (inches per MOA at that distance) = MOA adjustment
(Number of clicks per 1 MOA on scope) x (MOA adjustment) = adjustment in clicks on scope
Mils:
One Mil's Size at Various Distances (in Yards)
100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | 1000 |
---|
3.6" | 7.2" | 10.8" | 14.4" | 18.0" | 21.6" | 25.2" | 28.8" | 32.4" | 36.0" |
One Mil's Size at Various Distances (in Meters)
100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | 1000 |
---|
10cm | 20cm | 30cm | 40cm | 50cm | 60cm | 70cm | 80cm | 90cm | 1 Meter |
and This:
20 mm/50 m = 0.4 mrad, or 4 clicks with a 1/10 mrad adjustment scope.
50 mm/1000 m = 0.05 mrad, or 1 click with a 0.05 mrad adjustment scope.
There are literally thousands of references to this all over the place and you guys have no clue what I'm talking about? Kinda hard to believe. This has to be some kind of joke.
