Fieldcraft question for REAL snipers

That section of the market is starting to blow up.
Just like Vegans, true operators start every conversation by telling you they are one but real subtle-like: “As an operator..” or “On the teams...”
You also have to bench 350, have 200+ bow kills, and work concrete every day.
There are a lot of Operators who are on here haha you would be surprised. Mil mil is your answer except some smaller army units have the old leupolds and they are mil moa.
If the responder tells you he's using a Quigley Ford, Huskemaw or an IOR, then rest assured you have your guy. Anything else can gtfo.
OP good grief. You operate hard to want to know this huh. Probably want to have a range therapy session with buddies after you find out what real SNIPERS use so you can be tacticool and validate yourself...sometimes I wonder what is more important to firearms owners. Barbies or GI Joes...been seeing a lot of Barbie “operators”.
Operators hit their target the first time.
People who worry about MIL vs MOA are either conflicted as to whether America should change to the metric system or hit their target eventually.
Or there's people like me... who use MOA for hunting and MILS for everything else... because that makes total sense.

Wait......wut?
Mil or Moa.... there’s a difference?
All I got is tics on a reticle and clicks on a turret.
But then again, I’m not a real sniper or operator.
But I can usually put a group of 3 rounds inside a 3” circle at the full 100yds.
Call me Elmer.

. We use mils exclusively. People outside of the military that say MOA is better, that's fine. Everyone has their preferences. But in an operational standpoint, having a shooter/shooter sniper team, where both have all mil optics (spotting and rifle day optics)...just makes so much more sense. There is no confusion or conversions needed. In high stress situations, breaking it down to the simplest system is what you want. All mils. All the way.
You should use your mil-dot reticle to range your target. Then once you're confident you have that right, figure in mils what adjustments you need. Then convert your adjustments to MOA for your elevation. Adjust your elevation accordingly. Then convert back to mils for your windage, cause you might as well just do a hold for that; your reticle is a mil-dot... Then reverse your math to check everything, converting from mils to MOA and MOA to mils as needed. Once you feel good about that, throw that scope away and pick something up that is either all mils or all minutes and stick with it till your mind functions in that form of angular measurement.
That's how I learned. lol

I am disappointed that nobody even called me on this.....
A Pie plate is only 3” isn’t it?
