Reset the scope back to zero.
Brass shims of .002 thickness (try Fastenal)
Cut to fit your rear scope mount
place under rear scope mount and tighten down.
This will lower your cross hairs without using the built in adjustments.
Boresight. You may need to add or remove shims.
Then go zero.

BTW the reason your running out of adjustment is this.
The scope is meant to be zeroed for a target 300 yards away. It has a built in MOA for this.
So essentially you need to buy a .22 scope for a .22 and save this scope for a .30 cal rifle.
