Welcome Aboard OM!
You are right, that does not compute. Lower sure, but not 26". How many shots did you take to establish the 1" high at 100 yds? If only 1, you could have had a fluke round while the rest of the box shot lower. I know that sounds like a loose assumption, but that's about all I can come up with. Assuming you took more than 1 shot, how did it group at 100 yds? After establishing the 1" high at 100 yds, did you change from say a BR setup to shooting offhand or vice versa. Give us more details.
