Re: Mil/Mil or MOA/MOA?? That is the question
If you have a degree in electrical engineering or physics, you have written the formula thousands of times, the angle Omega is equal to two pi r [that would be in radians].
If you took geometry in high school, you have memorized that the sine of 30 degrees is 1/2.
Degrees and radians are both used in a lot of things.
In astronomy, the angle of the telescope is described in both radians and degrees.
In motor control, the position of the armature is described in both radians and degrees.
In gunsmithing, surveying, road building, and navigation, I only hear degrees.
That's fine.
But I have lost count of how many scopes I own with miliradian hatch marks on the reticule, and the elevation is adjusted in 1/4 moa clicks.
That sucks.
In 2011, I showed up two days early for hunting with a new Kahles scope that has .1 milradian clicks on the turrets. I set up a target and tried to build a chart for 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards with my measurements made on the target in inches.
That sucks.
Once an old brain gets the idea that 1 moa is 1 inch at 100 yards and 2 inches at 200 yards is 1moa, then change is painful.
