    Good write up and honest about the misses. You don't mention calibre but I'm picking 708, 308 or similar by the drop you mention. Zeroing at 2 and a half or 3 inches high at 100 should give you "point and shoot" from 50 to about 275 yards. With the bullet being in a circle with a radius of 3 inches for that entire distance.
    It's @Micky Ducks beloved rule of 3 and does away with guessing holdovers etc occasionally lead to us outsmarting ourselves.
    Your shooting ability isn't in question as shot placement shows it's range "guesstimation" and this should help till you get that rangefinder
