I’m with Marc on this. If you want to measure – use MIL.

With the “1 MOA = 1 inch/100 yds” rule of thumb you get a 5 % error. With Mil you get no error.

It’s important enough to relate MOA to IPHY for purpose of understanding. Especially since most of our ‘MOA’ scopes aren’t.
But too many generalizations can cause a departure from sound perspective.

For example; if understanding that 1MOA is ‘close enough’ to 1.047 IPHY for ‘our purposes’, then your understanding is off by .47 IPHY for every 10 MOA dialed..
That’s 4.7″ off(from generalizations) at 1kyd, per 10 MOA dialed, and it’s common to need 30+ MOA to zero at 1kyd.

Paul:

You have outdone yourself with great information today.

Are we going to get a lesson on using a Mil dot card for ranging?
