[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 198161, member: 5"] It does go to the nearest "click". In this case it's set to moa with 1/4 moa clicks. It's just that the precision is better using 10 mph than by using 1 mph. At 1 mph it takes a long time before it goes from .25 to .5 because of the rounding, but with 10 mph you can see that, even with the rounding, it goes in finer and more accurate increments. If you multiplied the .25 moa at 1000 yards by 10 to make it 10 mph then you come up with 2.5 moa. If you compare that to the 10 mph figure of 3.25 moa you can see there is a difference of .75 moa at 1000 yards or 7.85" If you look at the trajectory values you can see that in both cases it knows the wind drift and both charts agree on the value. It's just that there is a difference is what you would dial if you used the 1 mph factor instead of the 10 mph factor. At 1150 yards, using the 1 mph factor, you would go from dialing 2.5 moa to dialing 5.0 moa while by using 10 mph factors you would already be dialing the right wind of 3.75". The 1 mph factor just limits its accuracy because of the rounding and this hurts you the farther out you go. [/QUOTE]
