I was thinking same but to be off 6-7 clicks is not something I have ever seen....that about 50% off. I have probably plugged numbers in for over a 100 rifles /scope/ ammo with all the Ballistics apps mentioned so far and they might be off but not anywhere close to 50%
I've never had a scope off anywhere close to that either ,but I am out of ideas that's why I said in caps IF everything is entered correctly what else could it be I'm stumped and eagerly waiting the answer!

problem is the scope seems to be right on with what he's dialing. (1.8) He's just dialing 50% of what's needed because the solution is off

OP, I didn't read all the posts so please forgive me. The best thing to do in this situation is control each variable and work your way down the list of things you think are wrong. If you start making a ton of changes at once you'll be chasing your tail. To me, just from the little I read it could be a scope issue. Like turrets not reading true click values.
You can also shoot at 100 yards and then at 300 yards and see how far you are off to true your data. I use Ballistic AE and it's never 100% on but it gets me really close, and I make precise adjustments from there.

I stopped fiddling with my chrono a long time ago
I now backwards correct book muzzle velocity based on observed drops

Somewhere along the way, I would have checked the tightness of the scope mounts and then the rings.
I use Shooter and it is deadly right on for all my rifles and various calibers.

you could also test reticle holdover versus clicks to evaluate your scope tracking
Did you enter the correct measurement for the height of the scope above the bore? Is there a selection for metric that needs to be turned off?
First question...Do you have a 20MOA rings rail or .mount on your rifle?
I use Strelok Pro and Ballistics ARC.
Ihavenot had but one miscalculation and it was my fault..I forgot I had a MOA Scope on and not a MRAD scope whenI changed rifles...lol
Op says it's definitely 1/4
I also use Strelok Pro and had the same problem; cost me a nice buck last season. Then another range officer I work with told me I had to "true" the app. Once I did that everything worked prefect. I've confirmed this method on 2 different rifles and it's spot on. There's a video on YouTube about this.
