Why would you not zero at 200 yards?

My bench is set up at 100 meters, by accident. I stepped it off as 100 paces when I planted a tree for shade 9 years ago. Later I bought a range finder and discovered my error. As it turns out my ap says it will be .2" high at 200 yards - or as you say sighted in at 200 yards. My ap is in yards not meters. I also have it set for 10 mph wind at 90 degrees. I suspect that depending on bullet rotation and wind direction there might be a some variation in elevation POI. But so far, in the field, my ap has been close - I find it quite valuable actually.

I have a way to set up a range 500+ meters at my place, but that would be across a creek and so far I've not built a bridge. And I'd have to cross a planted field. Next year it will be CRP, so maybe a bridge is in the future. Right now, I have to go out to the road to cross the creek. Besides I don't want to shoot at game animals that far - coyotes, skunks, prairie dogs, varmints of all kinds yes, but not game animals.
