Default Sighting In 7mm-08

Need help on best way to sight in your rifle. I have read many articles on what the best way is to do this. So I decided to sight in at 25 yds dead on and take it from there. I shoot a Tikka T3 7mm-08, 139 grain Interbond bullet with 49.9 grains of H414 powder suppose to be shooting around 2900 fps.

Its dead on at 25 yds 3 shots in a small black dot, but when I moved it out to take a 200 yd shot, which its suppose to be dead on at 235 yds according to the Percentage tag for my rifle it shot 12 inches high.

Now what I am wondering is this, should I sight it in at 3 inches high at 100 or just keep adjusting with the way I have it now dead on at 25yds and go from there.

Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for your help!
