I like having the ability to use a 'broke scope' drill and use both hold overs AND hold unders.

The other thought here is that they use the same knobs on both the 5 mil and the 10 mil turrets. simplify the product line by having parts commonality.
Thanks Belly, that first part actually makes sense. I just looked it up and even with .22LR out to 300yds, you only need 12mil of adjustment. Looking it up for higher calibers (308), again 10mils will get you out to 1k yards easily.

But still, I guess you have to know what turret revolution you're on, otherwise turn up 8mil, shoot, don't set back to zero and don't touch rifle for a few months, then you can't remember if thats 3mil or 8mil. just doesn't seem very useful still Perhaps I'm too OCD and over thinking this way too much.
