Default Sighting in a Scope

I recently went to a shooting range to fine tune my muzzleloader and noticed something fishy. I was shooting 2" to 3" groups at 25 yds but when I moved back to 85 yds my shots dropped off a few inches. I understand that this is normal.
Here is the fishy part. I adjusted my scope a few clicks (6 clicks to beexact)to move my shot up and all of a sudden my shots are 5 inches too high. I thought that at 100 yds that 4 clicks usually = 1" ? Should I have passed up my mark and come back down on the scope adjustment (eg. if I needed 6 clicks should I have went 8 - 10and then came back). Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks in advance
