Strelok app. Why are clicks in decimals?

[Jimbee]

Why are the clicks in decimals? I can only turn my turret in a whole number of clicks.

Round to nearest click.

Round to nearest click.

Yeah, but it seems like there's something wonky with the app if it has the elevation rounded and the clicks in decimals....just wondering if I'm overlooking something?

Edit the table to remove the clicks column. Use the MRAD column.

It uses an equation. Like all good math equations, the answer isn't a perfect fit for any base something system. If you are familiar with significant figures, the answer isn't a perfect sig fig for the number you designate. At some point, you have to apply rounding rules and stick to them. Does it make sense? No. So, get rid of the confusion.

The MRAD column rounds it for you, so you don't have to overthink this particular aspect.

Yep, I have good luck using the app, just thought it was weird. Trying to figure out how to apply Form's technique for calculating drops in my head but I'm having a hard time with this one.

Just use the mrad value to spin your turret to.

The click value is helpful when doping your rifle to know if you will be hitting slightly high or low.

I only use the click value or inches when I am trying to get another ballistic program to match up to my "master" program (stelok) such as getting my sig kilo matched up and getting my zeiss binos matched up in their ballistic tables so they match strelok and the dope displayed to me is accurate.
