MrPrena:
I agree with everything you said up to the part in red. This is by no means a pissing match and am impressed with your memory of math from 14 years old, I wish I was as cognizant with my memory.
1" = 1 MOA :is the quick dirty standard that is easy to understand for the masses, even if not accurate, but it is close. To make matters even worse there are a couple scope makers using "SMOA" (shooters minute of angle) where they did in fact make their clicks true 1/4" values at 100yards and one of them was selling their products as true MOA scopes.
Both MOA and MIL are angular measurements, not distance measurements.
I'm still trying to figure out how you got 5.73" for 1 MIL at 100yd because everything is correct prior to that line...............

Going back to the OP, her scope is in MIL's so any talk of MOA is not helping her and from what I'm reading she is a newbie at any type of distance shooting and any talk of MILS and MOA is confusing. For her purposes she needs to get the scope mounted and zero'd for 100 yards and practice until she gets good repeatable precision and accuracy. Then she can start talking about longer distances and what the MIL hashmarks in her scope do, but until then this is all wasted talking points.
