Let's say that you need 20 MOA adjustment at 1,000 yard which is 209.44" of vertical correction. If your scope adjusts in IPHYthwn you are only correcting for 200", a difference of 9.44 inches
What if you got your corrections in MILs and your scope is MRAD?
What if your scope is advertised as [something] but the thread pitch is off?
In all 3 cases, the solution is the same.
What is your solution for the POS scope
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first
Something to think about: With respect to movement of POI on the vertical plane of the target, does each successive milliradian of "up" produce the same vertical displacement increment?

Start crankin' elevation! Record your zeros. Update your calcs. If you don't like it, get a new scope.

Depends right? With a quality scope - the crosshairs should have moved that 1 MRAD. Does the bullet actually go there? That's more a function of the quality of rifle/ammo/operator than if they were/were not using MRAD, MOA, IPHY etc - right?
You move the scope with the understanding, hope and assumption that "all else equal" - the bullet will land POA/POI with the adjustment. It's why people spend thousands on equipment, to remove as much variability out of that so if it DOESN'T move up the 1 mil requested - you have reason to believe it's you, not the Cricket you're shooting off the hood of a Chevette at 1000 yards.
MRAD stands for Milliradian (abbreviation MIL) and represents 1⁄1000 of a radian. 0.1 MRAD/MIL is 1 cm at 100 m and is suitable for those using the metric system. If you take it exactly though, 0.1 MIL (NATO) is actually 0.98 MRAD. However, Schmidt & Bender uses MRAD as well as MIL for exactly 1 cm at 100 m
So about .358 at 💯 yards

The math of the situation is the interval [0, π/2) is being mapped onto the interval [0, infinity), so there must be some uneven dilation.
I'm not following the formulas, so please let me know how far of base I am. You stated up and POI, so I want say each unit clicked for up would be less cause it's farther way.
To me Mils are Mils, but trying to get others to grasp the concept seems difficult.
Wonder why. You just need a ruler (your reticle) with some built-in measurement system (any measurement system) and you'll be golden. The ballistics calculator speeds up the math, but you're still "doing" math...Elemental math.
What I don't understand is a MOA/MIL reticle and twisting turrets. If you twist turrets and hold on the middle, the the rest of the reticle (at least vertically) is not necessary. I can see one or the other being beneficial, but both is redundant.
Lol don’t say that. Most guys here don’t have the terrain or distance to even need it. Besides even if you’re hunting in the western mountains it’s more likely than not to not even need to dial. I have many rifles with turrets on them. Frankly I really only need 2 if I had to, One for my rock chuck rifle and the other for my big game rifle. On the rock chuck rifle I use it to about 500 yards and I hold for wind in chuck increments. Ie a chuck or chuck and a half wind hold etc. the big game rifle it’s likely to not even spin the turret and if I do for a long shot across a canyon it’s only 1 shot I hope
People act like all this whiz bang reticles are needed to take 1 shot. Talking about using the reticle as a ruler etc, lol. It’s like they never experienced recoil. You can tell very few actually shoot in the field and mostly range shoot. Simply because few have access to public lands.

Yep on public land too and not with first focal plane. While I don’t agree with burns on a lot. They at least know long range hunting in Wyoming. How do they make the shots without it being mil and first focal plane?
