Mils has a few advantages over MOA though that won me over.
-The smaller numbers (Eg: 4.5mil vs 15.75 MOA) make dope charts less cluttered and quicker/easier to read.
-Turrets are often quicker/easier to read with the less numbers.
-Reticles with hold marks tend to make more sense (Eg the large hold marks are always 1Mil (with .5 or .2mil in between) where as MOA can be either 4, 2 or 1 for the main hashes and you need to remember what easy reticle uses).
-Quick drop forumlas (see Hunter Nicks post above) work much better with Mils than MOA.
-You can use the quick wind call "Gun Number" (you'll need to google it) much better with Mils than MOA.

So you struggle to count over 10! I love it
