I understand you might prefer Imperial over Metric due to some other reason like familiarity but most tables are not in inches.
The tables produced by popular and reputable ballistics programs permit the user a choice of Imperial or Metric. You decide what the output will be.

Haven't heard that one before but it is correct. Lets say the drop between 200 and 300 is somewhere around 5 inches. 5 (inches) divided by 3 (00) = about 1 3/4 minutes. My come up between 200 and 300 for most High Power loads I use.
It isn't in 'clicks' though. It is in minutes. Or did I miss something?

It is in MOA but I use two different style scopes 1/8 and 1/4 MOA so there is either a 4 or 8 multiplier, I skipped a mental step.

My first duty rifle was an M1 Garand, and we did everything in inches. The ballistic tables I grew up using are from old Hornady reloading manuals, and they were all in inches. Computers weren't even in the picture.

I hear you... I have no doubt you can play that Garand like a fiddle.
