9.2.3 Using MOA and Mils

When learning how to use MOA or Mils, always think in whole increments for a particular distance. What I mean is this, start with the target’s distance and ask yourself how big 1 MOA or 0.1 Mil is at that distance. Then, determine how many of those “chunks” you need to adjust.

For example, with MOA, if your target is 600 yards away, you should first calculate that 1 MOA is about 6 inches and then ask yourself how many 6 inch “chunks” you need to adjust your bullet’s impact. If you need to move 3 inches at 600 yards, that is ½ of a 6-inch “chunk” so you need to move ½ MOA. Likewise, if you need to move 12 inches at 600 yards, that is two 6-inch “chunks” so you need to move 2 MOA.

With Mils, if your target is 500 meters away, you should first calculate that 0.1 Mil is 5 centimeters (or 1 Mil is 0.5 meters) and then ask yourself how many 5 cm “chunks” you need to adjust the bullet’s impact.
