Hornady lists their 55gr SP with .235BC. At 2950fps, with a 100yd zero you will have 15in of drop at 300.
What ammo/bullets are you shooting?

A high powered low end optic looks big and blurry instead of small an blurry.
so setting 3-4" high at 100 will likely get you on the paper at 300
Probably, but your ballistics program can tell you what to expect better than I can because I don't know the numbers for your loadSo, am I right in saying that if I hold it on the top of the target, any hits should be in the middle or lower half of my target? (imagine a sheet of paper 2ftx2ft)
What were the wind conditions?
Also, was the 2950 measured by you or manufacturer data? If the latter, what kind of rifle are you shooting (type and barrel length)
Well, it's Top Shot .223 ammo, made by S&B, but the bullet hole is the same regardless of the brand.
What bullet weight?
You say "target trench."
Is this a safe area for your spotter while shooting is going on?
I have shot midrange and long range on traditional US ranges with target pits and elevating target carriers so each shot can be spotted and the previous one pasted over.
With a 1.5" sight height, at sea level, with a 100 meter zero, you should drop 18.5" at 300M.
