Tom MilRads are NOT metric, this is a common misconception, this comes from the fact that 1 milrad is 1/1000 of any unit of measurement on the planet, and .1mrad is 1/10000 of any unit of measurement on the planet, because of those facts 1 mil is 1 meter at 1000 meters, and .1 mil is 1cm at 100 meters, and 1 mil is also 1 light year at 1000 light years, or 1 inch at 1000 inches. MilDot scopes with .1mrad adjustment knobs make life so easy to engage targets at varying distances, I recommend not assigning a value to Mils, 1 mil is simply 1 mil, and at any distance 1 click of the knob simply moves the POI .1mrad.

The explanation is technically correct, but you should not mix inches with MILs.

MIL is metric and fully compatible with meters – centimeters – millimeters.

Then the formula will be Size : MILs = Range.

I thoroughly enjoy his videos. He can explain everything in a manor most anyone can understand. I also found it reassuring when he talked about Mil range cards because that is exactly what I do on my own. I do take it one step more though. I add my MOA click adjustments and Mil hold offs at those Mils distances. Works great.
