With a BC of 0.549 ,and started out at 2800 fps ( win data not your gun )
You need to sight in 4.2- 4.3" high at 100 to be 5" high at 200 to be 0 at 300

If it was me I would sight it in zero at 200 yds this will leave you 7.4" low at 300 , but only 1.8" high at 100.
Or even better 2.5 " high at 100 this will givr you a zero at about 230 yds and about 5" low at 300.

I have found that most game is shot a less than 300 yds .
AND most people don't practice enough at longer (300-600 yds) to be able to hit the heart lung area every time.
