Hey so a few things to point out that are often missed in explaining the difference in MOA vs MIL. As you correctly stated, both are angular based measurements. MOA being defined as 1/60th of a degree. MILs are defined as an arc length 1/1000th the radius. This is an important definition because it is directly proportional to target size (arc length) and distance (radius) making it a more useful definition than MOA. Additionally MILs are not a metric unit, they just correlate to metric well because of the base 10 nature. With MILs, one MIL is 1m at 1000m, 1y at 1000y, 1in at 1000in, the unit doesn’t matter. The very definition of MILs is based on target size to distance proportion as opposed to being defined by an angle in MOA making MILs a more useful definition. Also for those who make the case for MOA due to familiarity with inches, 1/10th MIL, a typical click value is also essentially equivalent to 1/3 MOA making it just as easy to use when thinking in inches, 3 clicks per inch at 100y.

MOA is defined by the USAMU as a unit of measurement which describes the distance in inches a sight adjustment will make at target distance. The concept is so simple to apply yet Soldiers and even trainers are prone to not understand and thus basic marksmanship instruction is conducted using the NSN 6920-01-395-1949 target which uses a printed grid to indicate sight adjustment need without need for MOA formula. Interestingly enough Soldiers seem to easily grasp MOA wind constant formula and apply it for excellent results from irons or ACOG.

@@sethrich5998 yeah, I am a Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver SDM, TTT, and SAFS. The training guides and visual aids for these programs are proven to teach an understanding of MOA, as well as apply the knowledge to sight adjustment. In other words the instruction gets Soldiers an understanding of equations needed to properly adjust sight, hold or favor at target distance/conditions.BTW the instruction emphasizes mils in context to ranging and MOA in context to sight movement, holds, and favors, since the instruction is all about Marksmanship using an as issued M16-A4, or M4.

Thank you for the video man. I'm a UK guy living in Canada just getting into target shooting. I'm much more comfortable with metric, but most videos I've seen explaining MIL still talk about it converted to inches. Hearing you talk about it in metric terms really sold me that i should get a MIL scope. 10cm at 100m is so easy to remember for me. Safe shooting man.

MRAD makes things very easy. I naturally think in imperial, but MRADS make it so easy. Say you rifle is zeroed at 100 metres.. So you want to hit your target eh? First thing, how far is it?? Say it is a rabbit and it stands 6" high. That is 150mm How many mildots does it cover in your scope?? Say 1. Well, 150 metres/1 mildot = 150. The rabbit is 150 metres away... Now, say for the sake of argument, that you know that at 150 metres your bullet drops 1 1/2" MORE than it does at your zeroed range of 100 metres. Well, that is more or less 40mm. So 40mm/150 metres = 0.277 MRAD, that is your hold over..

My learning of mils was more navigational and targeting from vehicles during overwatch. MOA was still the standard teaching with small arms because it's a smaller adjustment. Mils was something I had a chart for haha. One of those little spinners cheat charts even. I was taught eyeball ranging and powered mag ranging with MOA. Being on the Abrams, our GAS ranging gauge was set up to range a Soviet tank quickly. You could apply it to anything if you knew a standard height of said object or a part of that object. I've messed with mils post military service, but I personally find MOA easier to be able to apply it to different platforms and calibers.

I seen it at a local gun shop and used that as a bargaining strategy, I walked out with that scope for $750. I was more concerned about having good glass, I am good with the math so the challenge is actually ok.

A guy recently tried to convince me that i would miss my target/critter by 27" at 768 yards because i use MOA and dont factor the 0.047". That was a fun discussion. MOA is pretty damn easy being its 1inch(1.047) per 100 yards. Miss low by 4 inches at 400 yards? Dial up 1 moa. In mils, thats like .2 and 5/8 of a half liter or something. Ridiculous. Great video!

off by 27" because of the .047" how the hell was he coming up with that quite specific number? I've been racking my brain for the several minutes now trying to figure out how he was arriving at that number. I mean, no matter how I try to incorrectly work the numbers, I cant come up with anything even close to the resulting 27" Also, if you know MOA, switching to MIL is actually pretty easy since 1MOA is basically 0.3MIL (well its really 0.29 but since MIL scopes are in 0.1MIL increments, its easy just to round up to .3 and the rounding error really doesn't become even remotely problematic until you are having to make 5+ MOA adjustments and even then, its not really much of an error). Basically, if you say know that you need to come up 2.5MOA, then just multiply that by 3 and move the decimal one place to the left and you have the MIL amount move (e.g., 2.5 * 3 = 7.5 so it would be 0.75 MIL but since you can only dial in 0.1 increments, you can go either 0.7 or 0.8 and be on pretty much spot on). As you can see, the error is small because if you use the more accurate 0.29 value, the result is 2.5 * 2.9 = 7.25 and them shift the decimal back one place and the value is 0.725MIL so. To give you another example, lets say that you need to come up 10" at 800yrs, you know that 1.25 MOA, so since its .3 to one, easy math is 1.25 * 3 = 3.75, shift the decimal back and you have 0.375 MIL so dial 0.4 and the difference is about 1.5" high error due do rounding and the fact that you can only dial in 0.1MIL increments. If you only dialed say 0.3 (i.e., round down), then you'll about 1.5" low. Which isn't really bad unless you are handloading and have developed a load that shoots with single digit ES's since a 10 FPS speed difference at 800yrds is easily worth 1.5" even with a relatively high B.C. projectile. What I always say though to anyone if they ask what kind of scope to get is get which ever you want but my advise is to get something that has a matching scaled reticle and preferably that is FFP... That way you don't have to worry about any of that because your reticle will tell you everything you need to know (assuming that you are not off outside of the FOV of your at the time.. In which case, if you are then you're SOL either way and you did something seriously wrong and possibly shouldn't be shooting a rifle anyways).

@@CJ-ty8sv That .047 is less than a half inch of bullet displacement at 1000 yards so let’s say the bullet strike is 40 inches off point of aim, then, .47 times 4 equals less than 2 inches of bullet displacement which might be worth backing off a quarter minute click but probably not since there’s no shooter on the planet that could hold a quarter minute at 1000 yards. At any rate, notions about what’s important to hitting targets at long range vary but I’ll put all my money on what the USAMU long range shooters have to say about it, not KZfaq gurus.

@@charlesludwig9173 Not sure you what part of my comment you are replying to because nowhere did I say or imply that that .047 was really a big deal. Can you please point me (quote me) the portion where you got the impression that I was saying or implying that it was a big deal? as for no one on the planet hold a 1/4 minute, that depends on the definition of "holding 1/4 minute". There are probably many people that can "hold" 1/4 minute but no on who can accurately determine all the variables necessary to achieve groups of 1/4 MOA at that distance but they are getting close since the current world record 1k yard 10 shot group is at 2.6566" (or .253 MOA

@@CJ-ty8sv I am implying that your impression is also mine, .047 is as moot as it is meaningless in context to it being important to hitting where aimed at long-range. My example proves it for any who have a notion that the fraction has any meaning. Creds: CMP-USAMU cert. Military Rifle Instructor assisting USAMU deliver SDM, TTT, and SAFS training, US Distinguished Rifleman. and NRA High Master Long-Range Competitor. BTW I can hold under a half minute from irons at 100 yards but at 1000 yards from irons in prone sling supported position I can barely hold 2 MOA in prevailing wind shooting my match conditioned .223 AR in Service Rifle Dividion. Hold is the correct term since error is mostly about me not being able to see the target well enough to get an exactingly consistent sight picture from picture memory.

@@charlesludwig9173 Ah ok gotcha. Sorry then for my misunderstanding of your comment. Yeah, that whole .047" error thing always boggles my why some people think that it's a big deal or a concern. Its almost like some have this notion of people shooting bughole groups at distance or are trying to shoot a dime (or any coin for that matter) at a thousand or something. I mean, yeah sure if we were shooting actual lasers where the only think of concern is refraction but yeah, that's not the case here.
