[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1927738, member: 10291"] IMO, the best approach, using your ballistic calculator, is to determine the amount of drip required for the maximum range/conditions you intent to shoot, and determine whether your scope/mounts will accommodate the distance without running to the extreme of your turret travel. For my hunting cartridges(g7 BC-+.3: velocity-+2950FPS), I have not required canted mounts for hunting to a max of 1200 yards. My scopes are 30mm and typically have 100MOA of travel. On the other hand, my PRS rimfire rifles used for +300 yard shooting require 20-40 MOA mounts depending on the turret range of the scope. Keep in mind that you need to keep an eye on your scope height/clearance as the objective will be closer to the barrel, potentially making contact, or interfering with flip covers. [/QUOTE]
