Hornady 4DOF Solver Sight Height Limitation

[uda123cat]

I was wondering if anyone has used the Hornady 4DOF solver for ELR and found a limitation with the sight height input variable. Specifically, the current max is 4 inches. My sight height is 6.5 inches. The reason for such elevation is to clear a 34 inch barrel with a 14 inch suppressor and a 40mm diameter scope when 50 or more mils is required using a 375 cheytac reaching out to 3000 yards plus. Either a very high fixed MOA rail or something like and Ivey Base is required. I contacted Hornady but the generic help line was not particularly helpful and they would not provide an email for the 4DOF Solver people. I doubt using a linear projection for various elevations and "predicting" what anything over 4 inches in scope height "should" produce would be either valid or even "close" to reality. Any suggestions in this regard would be helpful.

thanks

You could try plotting sight height vs elevation for whatever range you care about. You should see a smoothly varying function that will give you a feel for what to expect.

Of course, the better answer is to find someone at hornady and get them to loosen up the input restrictions, which are arbitrary.
