Ballistics Calculations with more Significant Digits for special project

I'm mapping out a custom reticle with DA corrections and specific MPH based windage marks. It's kind of hard to explain but I need to know if anyone has a ballistic calculator you can set to show more than 10.2 MOA or whatever so it will show 10.225 moa or whatever the calculation may be.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a calculator that one can set significant values but is not known to be accurate please let me know that lol.

I generally use JBM, Bullet Flight, Shooter, and Ballistic AE. I never bought Strelok although at one time it was quite advanced. I've been meaning to get the new AB app.

Thanks for any info.
 
How are you going to get the values of the other parameters such as wind speed and ballistic coefficients to name a few to at least 5 significant figures (SF), so that your final results are accurate to the same? Keep in mind that the wind speed is not constant, so you would need to know the wind speed to at least 5 SF at distances also known to at least 5 SF sampled in a fine enough grid so that your 5 SF have some validity.

This analysis could continue and hopefully you will see that the measurements needed are not available to achieve 5 SF so why should the ballistic calculators display results to 5 SF.
 
The reticle is highly detailed but intuitive but of course I want to map out the theoretical values as accurate as possible graphically before investing a few thousand dollars on the scope, lol.

I guess I may need to bug Litz or someone with an APP to help with getting exact coordinates.

Anyone know the guys that run the JBM ballistics website personally or a peer?
