1000 yards, at 100 yard zero, mv of 2600 fps, 168 g hpbt will drop approximately 35 feet, hence need to click up approximately 43 clicks @ 1/2 min per click (open sights)to get on paper.

With a 1000 yard zero, the bullet is highest at approximately 600 yards, at about 145 inches (12 feet +)

To describe an arc with a 200 ft high point, you would need some serious elevation hold, or a blunt tip bullet that bleeds off velocity rapidly, which then would make the second leg of the arc more difficult to stretch.

maybe a large chunk of lead with a blunt tip would do that, I don't know, but when talking trajectories in inches, 200 feet is 2400 inches.

Then again, 1500 yard and beyond, the high point would increase. 2400 inches does seem high.
