Let me first say what a great web site and I hope someone can give me some guidance...
New to long range shooting I am looking for some indicative scope adjustments required between distances once zeroed at 100m. I have just purchased a Rem 700 action in 6mmBR with a 1:8 douglas barrel. The plan is to put a 36X weaver on nightforce 20moa bases. Short distance 100-300m shooting I am looking to use Hornady moly 75g and longer distances 400-900 Hornady moly 105g's. Also using ADI 2208 powder the equivalent of Varget.
So the real questions
Is 20moa bases enough to cover the variable ranges?
How many clicks up between 100-200, 200-300, 300-400, 400-500, 500-600, 600-700, 700-800 and 800-900?
