SE will apply the -10 to hit on all ranges from 0 to 30 since your formula said <30 correct?


Actually, it will apply -10 from ranges 0 to 29. At range 30, you get -20. That is what your chart asked for, right? If it said "<= 30", it would be -10 from 0 to 30 instead.

New question I was reading an earlier post in this thread I came to the impression SE does all ranges in 10’s

No, it does not. Range has a degree of 1, not 10. Actual damage done will be whatever is calculated at the exact range, for example. The damage charts for component display only display every 10 ls because it would be insane to try to show every 1 LS. Also, I think Aaron didn't want to confuse new players by showing the actual formulas.
