With a 100 yard zero, as I used, a 180gr projectile is ~8" low, at the 265 yd distance I fired. So combine that with the slow-poke load I use in a heavier 200gr bullet, which would drop even more than the 180gr, and I had no chance with the aim I took.
I needed to be something like 8"-12" above the back of that wolf.
Just for fyi for myself if no-one else...

Sorry, not sure what I’m missing as to why you were 8” low at 100 yards?
