Do you prefer mils or Minutes? I've always wondered what the benefit of mils was...
Mils or MOA, either is good. I don't have a solid preference. .25 MOA is a finer increment than .1 mils (which equals about .34 moa), but for my purposes, it's not relevant.
The big advantage is when your reticle, turrets, and drop chart are all in the same unit of measure. At long range you can typically see your hits/misses on steel/rocks/PDs, etc. You can measure the distance of the miss vertically and horizontally, and then apply the correction to your turret in a straightforward manner without needing a calculator, or rough estimates. Most shooters prefer to dial the elevation correction, and hold the wind via the reticle.
Having a mildot reticle, MOA turrets, and a drop chart in inches, really slows down production....grin.
