You want to look at the specs of the scope and not wind out the erector. Generally I try to keep them 15%-20% from the bottom. I.E., if you have 60 MOA of travel (30 being dead center) you want to keep the rail above 20moa so you have 50 moa useable, and ten below zero. Just a rule of thumb. If you try to go to the maximum it will start to get wonky from what I understand, and worst case you won't be able to zero it correctly.
