Your bullet will get there but will be wobbling around the sky after 800yds as it crosses into transonic (1,350fps). As it slows the bullet's centre of gravity moves forward and in a pointy supersonic shaped bullet that means it starts to go unstable. Groups blow out, and by 1K it is subsonic.
With 20MOA cant you have enough to make 1K easily but with 30MOA it is useless elevation because the calibre is going to let you down if you want to use the extra elevation 15.5 (scope) + 9 (base) = 24.5Mil max elevation = roughly 1,400yds/900fps. Trying to be accurate at that range will be like driving jelly.
LOL, driving jelly. I've never heard of that but that pretty much sums it up. Sounds like a 20MOA base will be plenty for what I'll be doing.
