As I recall the JBM site give options of printing drop charts in MOA or MIL. You may just be missing a drop down menu on the site. I'd suggest you play around with the site.

Four full lines and check the shot. IIR, SS are 1/4 so you really can't turn the .1. Should be close. If too low, either go 1/4 check and hold low on target, or stay 4 and shoot hair high.

Have you zeroed your scope i.e. sighted it in? If so each number on your turrets is a MOA going up or down from the zero. The markings in between are .25 MOA.

STOP getting drop in inches!!

Use JBM, select "trajectory card" and have output #1 in MOA and output #2 in mil.
Use column 1 for dialing and column 2 for holdiovers.

You dial "4" and you shoot or dial "10" and shoot. .1 moa at 275 and 450 yards is less than you can hold.

As long as your scope is zeroed and your knobs are zeroed dial 4 moa and hold a cunt hair high for 4.1 and or dial 10 and hold a cunt hair low for 9.9, NOTICE I said nothing about counting clicks, and if the light bulb hasn't gone to full bright yet how many inches of drop at any distance is useless information, MILS and MOA is all that really matter, when you buy your next scope get knobs that match your reticle and life becomes even easier.
