Got a beginner question for you...I'm an old codger who wants to shoot a scoped inline to the ranges I used to shoot my sharps 45-70 with silhouettes amd mid-range sights.. that means a minimum of 500 yds... I also want to shoot a paper patched 400gr lead bullet... not interested in shooting 185gr saboted bullets... so I need plenty of room for extreme drop...
I want to play with my Knight 45(original Disc) converted to bare primer 209 to shoot steel out to 500 yds. I don't try to break any speed records and shoot a 400gr paper patched cast bullet ahead of 80 grains T7 or BH209 around 1400fps... I just put a Konuspro M30 Mildot scope on it to see what I could do @ extended ranges... but quickly ran out of adjustment for elevation... as rifle is currently set up I am a full 2 MOA low @ 200 yds....I mounted the scope with Leupold rings and quick release bases... what do I need to do to get another 14-16 MOA to reach out to 500? Thought of trying one of my SWFA Sniper scopes 10x42 or 3x15 but thought I may have the same problem...
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Themoose
