MOA and mils are both measurements of angle, not linear inches or centimeters. In answer to a question in another Campfire forum I mentioned a 6.5-06 that grouped 3 shots into 1/2 MOA out to 600 yards. One guy immediately posted: "You have a rifle that shoots 1/2 inch at 600 yards?"
I even had a recent conversation with a 1960's-trained sniper who said his present long-range hunting rifle grouped into "3 MOA" at 500 yards. He obviously meant 3 inches.
