Heck yea switching to the metric system dick measuring protocol and dating Oriental chicks with those tiny hands....winning.

So that makes 308pirate a pirate captain. Ah ha me hearties...
The point, Wiley Coyote, is that if you think you're able to make an accurate linear determination at long distances and then do the proper conversion, especially if you mix your linear measurements in with your angular measurements, you're going to have errors. And that error will translate into a miss. Come out to the range or a tournament. Use your self declared superior way and see how well you shoot. I doubt you're likely to help yourself or anyone else.
So tell us genius, when you miss your shot a 758 yards, how many inches off you are and then do the correct MOA adjustment you need to make, Instantly, without a calculator or writing down an equation. By the time you figured out your correction, the shot will be long gone, unless you're just shooting a piece of paper. As Frank has already explained to you, that .047" you disregard will compound over distance. The only cleverness you've displayed is the ability to not answer questions you don't have a response for.
I suggest you stick to building bridges in the People's Republic of China so your practical use of your supposed engineering degree doesn't wind up killing Americans.

I mean using his logic he should just switch to a SFP duplex reticle since he’s so good at doing calibrated measurements with his eyeballs at any distance and can instantly convert it to MOA

Boom. Roasted.

Or that most people that shoot precision rifle use mils but measure target size in MOA
.... and cut their pizza into 8ths instead of just 6ths for when they're real hungry. That way, they get more pieces.
Put 35" tires on back for better gas mileage it's true....you can really feel it going downhill all the time!
Text him and tell him to check his hood latch.......
It’s not metric. The conversion from inch to metric is 25.4. Not 27.7.
He was talking in Imperial millimeters
Ok...10 fucking pages. I didn't even read all the first one.
I really hope this question hasn't been asked yet.

What weighs more? A pound of lead, or a pound of feathers?

You are missing some gold, well worth going through it all.
You mean....someone posed the question...
If it takes a hen and a half a day and a half, to lay an egg and a half. How long does it take a rooster, to set a doorknob and hatch a hardware store?
Heh, no. Peruse the thread, you won't be disappointed.
A shining example:
Ok...on page 3....had to stop a bit. I have some great study material for you Chicharone. Im old and don't wanna risk forgetting.
Now make note of the cart wheels, the hat, the chair. Now I apologize, cause this is a mil reticle, mostly my apologies are to @TheHorta
I hate that he had to learn i use mils this way. Oh not that I use it to range hot chick's on the beach, but that I'm participating in this dumper fire.
Now where was i? This getting old shit..oh yeah!
So note the objects and look at your ruler, that reticle is your ruler. If you study the picture, and your ruler, it becomes immediately clear, that is one.
Big.
Ass!
It also opens your understanding of a new unit of measure....AH(axe handles) now if that ass was subtending half the AH you currently see it would be twice as far away.
Hope this helps.

So...that ass is 4 mils wide. How many AH away is that pucker hole? But, please, I think in inches and yards and, yes, MOA, so please do that fancy converting shit.
Did you put your face right up to that ass to see if it was still a 5 mil ass?
5 minutes of ass is about 3 min more than I need. Just need to mil all that ass around in my head
Edit
oh shit that’s 5 mils of ass. Guess I need to mil about how many minutes I’ll need with that ass then
He is about three lengths of a fool from that road, if you dont believe it, Chickon1 will lay down and measure it for you.
OMG! You’re late. We really needed you earlier. However.....it’s still freaking February so the festivities can continue!
@Newbie2020 @308pirate @Halfnutz @Bender @lash @Rocketvapor the rest of the gang is showing up, SH Annual MOA vs MIL Festival is still going!

If your reticle subs don't match the turret subs there's a very simple mathematical formula for that...
CNS ÷ HW(S)=
CNS is cost of new scope that isn't f***ed off. Whereas HW(S)is the number of hours you must work (at your salary) to purchase it.
Much easier than doing all that math to make a simple correction or hold over.

That only works if somebody does 1 action first.
Pulls their head out of their rectal orifice.
Agreed. Unfortunately where I shoot my chances of seeing a splash are about the same as dying from a meteor strike after winning the lottery.

You guys are still going on about reticles and shit. Funny. Last time for the visual learners. Maybe someone will be like ooooo..but probably not. Especially 308P.
Just in case.. for 308P
/ means divide.
x mean multiply
( ) means do this shit in here first then multiply
Constant input of meters-metric. See less math.
adjustment in mrad = subtention in mm/range in meters
distance in meters = target in mm / angle in mrad
Constant of yards and inches
Yards to Target / 100 = inches per MOA adjustment at that distance
Inches of Adjustment Needed / Size of 1 MOA Chunk in Inches = MOA adjustment
Mixed input. See more math.
distance in yards = (target in inches / angle in mrad) x 27.78
distance in meters = (target in inches / angle in mrad) x 25.4

We are achieving levels of cognitive dissonance here to fore thought unattainable. Bravo brainlette.
I honestly thought you were a guy named Matt.
Matt was one of them computer engineers. Matt argued with me about something I had done for 33 years, for a living, a 33 year career.
And do you know why he thought he knew more than me?
Because he installed the SCADA system in a facility similar to mine.
Matt was immediately labeled a complete moron by other people, who had previously thought him a really smart guy.
You didn't have to be that guy, but somehow, you just gotta be right. I expect you can't help it though. You probably have ass burgers or something.
Can you give us the "suspects" height & weight?
You aren't gonna miss at that distance anyway.
I think a large percentage of engineers are on the aspergers scale. Socially inept and pretentious as fuck.
You are probably right.. I'm am just a odd redneck version I guess.

But why tho? Wtf are you doing math on target?
Well, if people would actually read, this was the only point I was trying to make. Turned into all kinds of other shit..and I don't use it verify often unless I'm just winging a zero or distance. Since MOA is referenced with yards and inches, it makes it that much easier.

Angular units of measure are not imperial or metric. They're angular units.
7mils high
4.3mils WIDE
This target is known as "non standard" and if you use the silhouettes on the right, your range will be WAY off.
This is known as a "bigern"

So the only point you were trying to make is that you want to do pointless math that is completely unnecessary to any real world scenario?
Then you achieved your goal of self flatulation.
So smart I reckon if someone offered him $10k to fall out of his chair and hit the floor he'd find a way to stick to the ceiling. This thread has been nothing short of hysterical what a riot.
