need help with how much drop to adjust for for 1,000 yards when zeroed in at 100

It is Something Different with 155 gr Scenars. I could look it up but since we don't know what the OP is shooting, it probably doesn't matter.

No need to look it up, I've got it on the top of my head ;)

155 gr Scenar at about 2,950 fps: Come-up is 29 MOA at 1,000 from a 100 yard zero.
 
Speaking from memory (I have it in my log book, so don't quote me) you can shoot out to 800 yards with a 400 yard zero using mil dots. We did that shooting steel one time. But like you said, you wont have enough mil dots to get to 1,000 and need to be zeroed farther. Not to mention, not the most precise way to shoot.

It all depends on the magnification range of your scope and whether you are using a FFP or SFP reticle.
