I get it, it's a preference.......but if you can get the system that you prefer, then why not?
I trained a lot of shooters in long range. Some don't have a problem with working in both systems, some folks absolutely cannot get their head wrapped around the other system, whether it be MOA or mils.
Was putting together a complete rifle package for a customer for his first Montana elk hunt.
Rifle is a Weatherby 307 XP Range in 7mmRemMag
20MOA Peak Picatinny base
MDT rings
Customer left the rifle, caliber, and optic up to me. I was looking for a scope, and I had certain criteria. He'll...
Either get a handgun that's already optics ready, or have your Hellcat cut for an optic.
Give these folks a holler about having your Hellcat cut, and see what they say.

The conversions are important to have for spotters that either don't have a reticle in their spotting scope (my Nightforce TS-82 does not), or if your spotter's reticle is in one system while your reticle is in another.
When I'm spotting for my students, I almost always have a mix of MRAD and...
This.
it’s fine when you start, and you’re learning the system, whether it be MRAD or MOA, but you‘ll need to start thinking in MRADs or MOAs.……or back and forth between both!
Conversion formulae:
MOA’s to mils: MOA x .296 = mils
Mils to MOA: mils/.296 = MOA
MPH to FPS = MPH x 1.4667 = FPS
Inches to mils: inches/(Range in yds/100)/3.6 = mils
Inches to MOA: inches/(Range in yds/100) = MOA
MOA to inches: MOA x (Range in yds/100) = inches
Mils to inches: mils x...
With a 200yd zero, your drop to adjust for 400yds should be about 1.3mils.
Depending on a lot of different variables, your drop from 200 to 400yds should be about 18”.
18” converted to MRAD is 1.25mils, rounded up to 1.3.
Your question as to how much to adjust from one yard line to the another cannot be answered without a lot more information from you. At the least, I would need to know what caliber and load you’re shooting (ex. 6.5 Creedmoor with Hornady 147grn Match ammo), and an exact muzzle velocity would...
Each “click“ is .1mil per 100yds.
.1mil = .36MOA, so your mil adjustment translated into MOA is each “click” is .36MOA per 100yds.
1MOA = 1.047” per 100yds. For practical purposes, we round the 1.047” down to an even 1”, which is commonly referred to as “shooter’s MOA”.
So, .1mil is...
There’s a lot more to how “good” an optic is than how “clear” it may appear to your eye.
Not a Leupold fan, but that scope is leaps and bounds better than a Chinese Vortex Crossfire.
