Rifle Scopes .5 cm ballistic programs

[6.5x47]

For a friend, I'm asking if their are any ballistic programs that can be set in .5 cm adjustments? He's using a large Zeiss scope and is hoping to get to 1k.

Pretty much any of them work in mrad. That's the same as .5 mRad. He'll just have to round.

Bulletflight works in mRad or MOA and you can set it for what the adjustment of your scope is.

The "Applied Ballistic" app for Android allows the user to set a value of 1/20 mil (same as 0.5cm at 100m) for the turret graduations.

Honestly, I prefer to have the app tell me 5.3 mils, not 53 'clicks' (for example). I can take it from there...

I would quess this is related to older model pre-FL 6-24 Zeiss Victory with 0.05mrad clicks.
Turret scale as well as numbers are marked as clicks, not mrads. It is rather annoying to constantly multiply or divide by 2. Not difficult, but unnecessary.

One free alternative for Android is Lapua Ballistics. Calculates very accurately but supersonic range only. Far enough for many shooters. Firing solution unit as well as turret click amount can be determined separately and freely.

OP said .5cm not, .05 mRad, but he could be wrong. They were actually makred 1-2-3-4-5-6, etc "clicks" each being .05 mRad? What a messed up design!

.5cm = 0.5cm = 5mm = 0.05mil = 0.05mrad.

I recall older 5mm click model Zeiss 6-24 has full 10 click number markings too.

Same/same, I do believe.
