1 Milliradian = 0.0573 Degree
Key Formulas
Degree → Radian
rad = ° × 0.0174533Radian → Degree
° = rad × 57.2958Degree → Gradian
grad = ° × 1.11111Gradian → Degree
° = grad × 0.9Formula
degrees = mrad × 0.05729578Rifle scopes and artillery fire-control systems calibrated in milliradians must sometimes be compared against ammunition data sheets and older ballistics tables that use degrees for trajectory angles. A sniper computing an extreme long-range hold with a mil-dot reticle needs to convert the elevation solution to degrees when verifying against a degree-based ballistics chart or when entering data into legacy targeting software. The factor 0.05730 is the reciprocal of 17.453 mrad/degree.
