+5 inches is a lot more than I'd want to be at for my basic zero.

I don't like being above 3 inches, at most.

Typically, you've got time to adjust the scope for long shots but when you're 5 inches high at what are much more common ranges, you've got to stop and figure out where your bullet might be at that range. Anything smaller than elk (and it's pushing it with elk) 5 inches high is plenty enough to make a good shot into a bad one.

I almost always sight in somewhere around 1 1/2 (less for super flat rounds, more for slower ones) high at 100 yards.

With the specifics of your load, I'd personally go about 2 inches high at 100, that puts you 2 1/2 high at 140, which would be a 240 yard zero and 2 1/2 low at 280.
