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.
and I"ll verify, years of shooting 308 in matches, 168s drop 3moa from 200.... But knowing thats its pretty easy to hold on the spine or hairline and be fine.

I keep reading "terrain" I don't much get how terrain matters. Actual horizontal distance and wind effects would be about all I'd be worried about after I knew that my position that day was solid enough
