Here is the output of the JBM trajectory calculator for the 160gr Accubond out of my 7STW with 100 yard zero and scope with .25MOA elevation turret

200 yards -2.5in drop -4.8 clicks drop -1.2 MOA drop

300 yards -9.8in drop -12.5 clicks drop -3.1 MOA drop

So for you long range hunters, how many clicks up direction would you do with a 1/4 MOA elevation turret?

Can I assume 5 clicks up at 200 yards and 12 clicks at 300 yards? Or would you do 5 clicks and 13 clicks to ensure it is a tad high at 300 yards?

yes! Just don't forget that as you move further out, moa is actually 1.04+".
Therefore, at 1000 yards 1.04x10=10.4,or almost 2 extra clicks with a 1/4 minute adjustment turret.

If the ballistic calculator is outputting MOA then just use that number by rounding it off:

1.2 moa ==> 1.25 moa, i.e. 5 clicks
3.1 moa ==> 3.0 moa, i.e. 12 clicks
