Go to the range or where ever & Shoot? Zero at 100 then shoot at 300 & measure the drop? Or get on the interweb imaginarium do all the calculations Then go shoot & find out what YOUR gun really does?
Back before range finders and super accurate set ups we made it pretty simple. 3 inches high at a hundred and you would be close to 3 inches low at 300. Worked for most of the common calibers and it will work for you and the Creedmoor. JB

In my experience, almost any hunting caliber, not counting the low and high speed extremes and using a middle of the road bullet weight, can be sighted in 1.5 inches high at 100 yrds and be on target at 200 and 4-5 inches low at 300.
That has worked for almost all my rifles for decades. Granted, I've never attempted a shot on game past 300 yards.
Yes but if everyone knew that fact, it would stop all the arguments and discussions about calibers, velocities, bullet weight, etc. Reality can't be used as part of the equation.
