That load should be giving you something around 1650 fps brushbustin, which is plenty of energy out past 200 yards.

Trajectory is the issue. With a 100 yard zero you will be about an inch high at 50 and 75 yards and five or six inches below point of aim at 150 yards (fifteen inches low at 200). You might consider adjusting your impact point to something like and inch and a half high at 100. That should put you about two inches high at 50 and 75 and only three inches low at 150. It will still be about six inches low at 175 and almost a foot low at 200.

None of that is a problem if you have a good feel for the load's trajectory and a decent estimate of the range you're shooting.
