Re: Mil/Mil turret adjustment help
Agent Smith,
Another good way to look at Mil-adjustments is also to think in terms of relative units. What does that mean? Well, the simplest way to put it is this:
1 mil @ 1000 yrds = 1 yrd (36 in)
1 mil @ 100 yrds = 0.1 yrd (3.6 in)
0.1 mil @ 100 yrds = 0.01 yrd (.36 in)
1 mil @ 1000 m = 1 m
1 mil @ 100 m = 0.1 m (10 cm)
0.1 mil @ 100 m = 0.01 m (1 cm)
See the pattern? A 1 mil angular adjustment is equal to 1/1000 the distance. So regardless of what unit of measurement you're most used to, just divide by 1000 for 1 mil, 100 for 0.1 mil. If your target is 1000 soup-cans (or inches) away, and you made a 1 mil adjustment, the adjustment is the distance of 1 soup-can (or inch).
Hope that helps clarifies the mil adjustment math for ya.... it's easier than thinking about it in terms of only inches over yards or inches over meters.

Re: Mil/Mil turret adjustment help
The milradian system is just another angular measurement system, it is based on the metric system (meters, decimeters (10cm). In short, 1 mil represents a decimeter (10cm) at 100 meters. Mil turrets are generally subtended to 1cm increments from .1 to .9.The reason tactical shooters tend to prefer this system is because the formulas are simpler to work on the fly, being the metric system many results only require the shooter to move the decimal point around. hope this helps.
