So I am going out there this week to start getting some range time in before season starts in 2 weeks.
These are with the Hornady American White tail 100 grain rounds.
I ended up putting a Nikon Pro Staff 4-12 x 40 on it.
IMHO, I would just leave it as it is and not move it one click. If anything, 2 clicks left for a more centered group, but it could have been many things for that slight deviation to the right. I would rather have that little extra distance without having to hold over than not. Good shooting all the same especially with a new barrel!!!
I played with my ballistic chart and with what you have at basically 2-3/4" high already, I would bump it up 1 inch and have it 3.250" high at 100yds with I said a 100grn bullet, ballistic coefficient of .405 and 3000fps. It will give you a point of impact of 300yds. I am a firm believer of leave well enuf alone.
