Not necessarily. I just ran the numbers for a 168 grain TSX out of a .308.

With a 200-yard zero it's 9 inches low at 300. Not what I would call in good shape at 300.


With that sight in on a 308 I have no trouble*** ringing the small 300 yard gong doing holdover with a 6x standard duplex Leupold.

*** Given a position allowing for a steady hold. It's the trajectory that isn't the problem.
