PH,

When you say you "zeroed your rifle at 100 yards," do you mean it was point of aim/point of impact at 100 yds? If you are hunting big game, zeroing you rifle to hit 2 or 3 inches above point of aim at 100 yards will give you acceptable hunting accuracy out to about 300 yards. Many ballistic tables advise a +2 or +3 inch 100 yard zero that you need to check with your gun and loads at 200 and 300 yards to verify the drop.
