As I drove home I realized there were a few things I needed, A 20MOA mount
I had the exact same issue of running out of scope my first time at 1000 yards. The instructor highly recommended a Warne mount, which is what I went with. It's very similar to the Burris PEPR mount I was using, but of course has 20 MOA of elevation adjustment built in. You can easily see how the scope is pointing "downhill" when mounted. I'm using a Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50, and it already had an extended elevation reticle, but I ran out of zero adjustment at around 850 yards, and ran out of holdover at 1125 yards. Get yourself a 20 MOA mount and you should be able to hit as far as 1175 or so, when you go subsonic. That's where my velocity drops below sonic on my loads. It's pretty outrageous, drop at that range is over 50 MOA.
