Joker, 10 degrees is max for elevate but you won't need that much. My Cromwell maxes out at 7 degrees and I'm no slouch at the long distance shooting. The key to long distance shooting is fine-adjustment. Your mechanism should be able to increment in small amounts and smoothly (elevate and rotate).
If you can get the end of your barrel to within a foot of the ground you wont have any issues hitting the artillery solders. As another poster suggested, running over the solders doesn't work, I've tried that already.
