    Other common terms used in machining with Imperial units involve adding tenths together to achieve a specific tolerance or measurement. For example, "five tenths," is typically a measurement or tolerance of five ten-thousandths of an inch, and written as 0.0005 inches. "Three tenths," as another example, is written as 0.0003 inches [9]

    ⁠ 50 mm / 1000 m ⁠ = 0.05 mrad, or 1 click with a 0.05 mrad adjustment scope. In firearm optics, where 0.1 mrad per click is the most common mrad based adjustment value, another common rule of thumb is that an adjustment of ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad changes the impact as many centimeters as there are hundreds of meters. In other words, 1 cm at ...
