I've searched, and did not find a formula or solution to this question so I was hoping that you knowledgeable hiders would be able to answer these questions and educate me on this a little further.
I have a S&B 5-25 which has 93 MOA of elevation.
How do you calculate which cant base one would need based off the following requirements
Running a 308 175 smk at say 2650
zeroing at say 100 yards
Shooting out to 1000 yards
The options would be 18 MOA, 28 MOA, or 45 MOA scope mount on a flat base
So according to my ballistic program I would need roughly 38.18 MOA to reach out to 1000 yards, and at 100 yards have zero, and at 50 have - .32 MOA.
So assuming a flat base (i.e. AIAW) what would be ideal ? It seems with 93 MOA range, I should be able to run without a cant to 1000 yards, based on a mechanical center of 46.5 of the scope (93 moa total elevation / 2)
Would someone please advise how to calculate the correct base (i.e. range of scope + base = moa at certain max distance)
Thanks in advance
