Nothing is wrong with a 100 yd ZERO if that's what you are used to for practice. But be sure you realize that for every distance except ~75 to 125 yards, your POI will be below your POA. Still, with a 300 WM you should be only 3" low at 200 yards ( assuming a 100 Yd zero).
Where and how accurate it shoots from the bench is moot, however. What counts is where (and how well) you shoot from the sticks - and obviously other field expedient positions.
FWIW, I have to tweak my Zero up some for shooting from the sticks Vs from the bench. Probably just the way I hold the forearm, but best to know for sure.
Below is my Shooter Ballistics table for a 180 gr TTSX at 2,900 fps MV; 5,000' Density Altitude.
