Fixed or adjustable paralax scope? I'd check first that I had the parralax adjusted out of the scope. When you change the paralax setting such that the image is clear, that doesn't necessarily mean you are paralax free. WIth your head down on the stock and crosshairs centered on a target, move your eye a little left and right, then up and down. Does the crosshair stay on target or move a little? If it moves, make gradual changes to the paralax setting until the reticle stays centered on target. I may be preaching to the choir (for you - don't know your shooting habits), but most folk I see at the range have very limited understanding about how to set up their scope for successful shooting at distance. Most of the time, they just dial it until the image clears up, or set it to the range marks on the scope(even worse) and call it good. You can eaily put an inch of paralax related spread into a group at 200 yds by not having teh scope truly dialed in.
If that doesn't help, you may have to tune your load for 200 yards. It's not uncommon for a great long(er) distance load to NOT be the best short distance load.
