The US doesn’t use the metric system outside of science and engineering, where it is the standard everywhere (SI units), mainly due to inertia and stupidity. It’s a competitive disadvantage.

How many feet on a side is a tank of water weighing a thousand tons? The equivalent question takes less than a second in metric with no lookups.

I think the 6.5 Creedmoor may turn the tide though! 😎
