[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1980092, member: 69478"] Well first off you are going to have to count up from your zero to when your turret maxes out in elevation. It’s impossible to know where you are in adjustment if you don’t keep track of where you are. This is just an example, but let’s say the scope has 80 MOA of elevation. That’s from all the way bottomed out to maxed out at the top. If you don’t have a base with MOA built in, let’s say you end up around 40 MOA up from the bottom. So you have 40 MOA of travel left in your scope before you run out of elevation. If you have a 20 MOA base than you might be zeroed 20 MOA up from the bottom so you would have 60 MOA of adjustment left. So if you have 60 MOA of adjustment, go into a ballistics calculator and input all of your data and it will give you a drop chart out to say 2000 yards. Follow the chart until you see where it gets to be 60 MOA of drop then you’ll know that’s your max range with that rifle and load at those conditions. [/QUOTE]
