After a couple decades of shooting predominantly minutes, this last year I have transitioned over to mil/mil scopes on all of my heavy use and hunting rifles.
While the base 10 system and wind bracket is an advantage and more useful than a fractional based system for quick field use. The only part im struggling with is that I keep finding myself trying to convert inches to mils and I havent found a quick solution to that.
example: if you asked me how many inches of drop 4.25 moa at 700 yards (30" more or less) is I can come up with an answer pretty quick. But if asked how many inches 4.2 mils at 700 yards it would take me a while because I'd have the extra step of converting the 4.2mil x 3.5moa and factoring in the distance
For windage, its not much of a problem but I would like to have a simple way to know elevation/drops in mils. Even though most of the time im using the reticle as a measuring tool, sometimes as a spotter without a reticle I want to have that knowledge as a back up.
This might be a dumb topic, but after years and years of thinking in minutes, and being a Carpenter that thinks in inches, im trying to rewire a little bit.
