. . . Any idea of how short to cut the blade as a starting point to get close? . . .

Center hold: +6.5 MOA x .008" = .051" shorter (presuming issue blade prints center at 200 yard setting and range)
6:00 hold: +2.1 MOA for 22" radius of aiming black x .008" = .017": Total .068" shorter
Frame hold: +3.4 MOA for half of 6' frame height x .008 = .027": Total .078" shorter.

Below is trajectory data with 1000 yard zero. "PATH" column shows where we expect group center at various ranges. Handy if you have to sight in at shorter range.

Top image is "standard" atmosphere. Bottom is corrected for altitude at Viale range and a medium-hot summer day. Note how much difference this makes in drop, path, and drift. Working with 1000-yard stuff can get complicated!
