But there are two Mil standards, one in use by the Army and one in use by the USMC. The Army Mil, the ones that look round = 3.375 MOA and the USMC Mil, the ones that look like a football = 3.438 MOA.

In the end, it doesn't matter much learn one and use it. For me though I do so many things in MOA that I'll stick with that.

Wow, Bob, you pulled that one from thin air! Thats the site where I first learned how to use MilDots, and where I started shooting long range! Boomershoot is a great experience every year!
We'd love to have you come up!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
