[QUOTE="Jay Kyle, post: 1228180, member: 347"] This is where planning your base, scope, and caliber together all come into play - so you can know what sort of elevation you need, then plan a base that puts your reticle in the upper half of the travel (erector tilts down or forward to raise to front of the gun barrel for longer distance). But not at the complete top as you will still want some windage adjustment even for the closer ranges plus a bit of buffer room to compensate to manufacturing variance. For example I run a 30 MOA base on my VX6 on a 338/378, and it provides all the adjustment I need to reach maximum effective range - and still give me lots of windage adjustment when my dials are down near the zero lock.
