I have a rifle that I want to use for long range shooting. I have a load worked up thats will be good for woodchucks and targets that get out past what my 22-250 can handle in a new field I will be shoting next year. I have been doing the load devolopment at 200 yards and now I need to shim my scope to get on target with the optical center closer to POI at longer range. I want to shim my rear base up and lap the rings paralell and remount the scope.
My scope is a 8-32 with 1" tube and 1/8 MOA clicks.
My software says I'm looking at 130" to 200" of drop at 800 yards. If I take the average and put the optical center
at a POI 800 yards away with 160" of drop that means I have to be 20" high at 100 yards right? How do I figure the amount of shim needed to get there? I do want to use the same rings...whole other story.
Help!
Thanks! J
