Just out of curiosity, why did you adjust 2.5MOA, and not 1.25?

My guess, 200 zero

I adjusted to put the group where it ended up on purpose, just to have a different set of holes in a different place on the same target face.
It was also a quick check at the time to see if my scope dialled correctly although that was secondary.

I was group shooting/load developing, not zeroing in. if I had been zeroing in I would have adjusted both elevation and windage to smack the guts outa it.

When group shooting there is no point blowing the centre out of your aiming mark as your group progresses.
You end up loosing your nice clean aiming mark.

That particular target is absolutely perfect for the centre of the scope reticle on that rifle (Sightron SIII Target Dot).
