How do you know those bullets drop 7 to 9 inches at 100 metres? Normally, it's about 3.
Firstly I should highlight my scope is zero'd at 100m using the Jatkmatch rounds.

My sighting target was stuck on top of a military silhouette target that much bigger.
I'd put a few holes with the Norma rounds in my own target and, knowing that my handloads were unpredictable, I looked for an area that was untouched.

So I aimed at the "head" of the silhouette and saw hits in the "chest" area. Similarly, later I aimed at the "hip" area and saw hits on the lower leg and target margin.

Those distances were easily 7-9" below point of aim.
