Since then, many Forum members have requested an explanation of MILS and mildots, so we decided to run this feature again. 1 Milliradian = 0.0573 degrees.In this NSSF Video, Ryan Cleckner, a former Sniper Instructor for the 1st Ranger Battalion, defines the term “MilliRadian” (Milrad) and explains how you can use a mildot-type scope to range the distance to your target. Once you understand the angular subtension of the reticle lines/dots, it’s easy. Cleckner explains also how you can use milrad-based markings on your scope to hold-off elevation and windage. When you need to engage multiple targets quickly, the mil markings on the reticle can help you move quickly from one distance to another, without having to rotate your elevation turrets. We recommend the Mil-dot Explained from targettamers.com Guide if you want to know more about Milliradians or Mildots. Michael Haugen’s The Truth about Mil-Dots is also informative. Mr. Haugen starts with the basics: 360 degrees = Pi (symbolized p) Radians. This means that 1 Radian is approximately 57.3 degrees. 1 Milliradian is 1/1000th radian. Thus 1 Milliradian = .0573 degrees.Tags: Mildot Milrad Mils Optics Tactical Scope
