Drop sounds about right.
Shooting right could be the wind and it doesn't take much to move those bullets, or could be mount holes not square to barrel, or canted scope maybe.

I think the wind played hob with the 200yd shooting. I will double check to be sure the scope isnt canted.

that sounds most likely, unless the wind was pretty damn gusty that day.
doesnt takea whole lot of cant to move a bullet a couple inches over 100 yds.
