I believe I comprehend the basic logistic difference between the Mil-Dot & the Moa. What is interesting to me is the differing value of the two.
1 Moa = 1" @ 100 yds
1 Mil = 3.6" @ 100 yds
Would it be prudent to choose a mil-dot reticle having no previous experience but possessing the will to learn it? While MOA would be a clearly simple choice due to familiarity I really like the simplistic uncluttered view of the mil-dot.
OR, have we already beat that horse?
After being a die hard MOA user and then being forced to switch- mils all the way. Stop thinking in inches. It's just numbers on paper and a turret and tenths are easier to think in than quarters. The reticle is a ruler. All you do is spot the impact, "read" the correction with the reticle and dial or hold it.
As for ranging with a reticle..... No. At least not with any semblance of accuracy. Has it been done? Yes. Can it be done? Yes. However, batting averages will be mighty low.
