In the past I've run 3 different sized packs and tried to run smaller pack for day hunts and larger pack if we were out over night. But I have moved to just one 5500 exo K4 these days. The weight savings going from the 5500 bag to the 3000 bag is negligible and the 5500 cinches down very compact...
Assuming all your mounts and rails etc are tight....what size groups are you shooting at 200 yards? How many shots are you basing your correction off.
If you are shooting 4" groups your scope may be ok, you just may be seeing a large amount of variation due to the randomness of the grouping. 3...
My 20" howa mini 6 arc in a stockys VG carbon stock does 1.4" 10 shot groups with 105 Hornday black and 1.7" 10 shot groups with 108 eldm match factory ammo. Gun has less than 100 rounds through it.
I've had good luck with the Amazon batteries in both cell cams and non-cell cams. Not sure if they are as good as energizer or duracell but they seem to be pretty similar.
Like NSI said above, re-confirm zero but with 10 shots.
That will tell you if you are actually zeroed or not. Also will give you a better baseline on the level of precision your rifle is at the moment.
My rifle range at home the steels 100-200 yards are hung with chains and some scabbed together 2x4 frames to hang from. Simple and works pretty good, but i do occasionally need to repair broken chains
On my pistol range 5-35 yards i'm using t-post hangers and i've got some smaller 2"-8" gongs...
I just put together an arrowhead rifles savage prefit. Super easy, no drama. 105 grains of black horn 1.3” 10 shot group at around 2600fps. Super happy with the set up.

While it is always good to shoot more rounds and verify your dope chart works at various ranges its not a required step to have a verified and properly trued rifle.
If you actually have a real zero @ 100 yards with 10 rounds MINIMUM even better is 20 or 30. And then you true a distance close to...
If you are looking to zero and true up the rifle to build a chart. Then all you need is a rock solid zero with 10 shot minimum.
Then head down range to true up either just before transonic (1350fps) if you have a long enough range or whatever the max range you want to hunt at. Shoot 10 rounds...
Tikka t3x 22” .223 in a rokstok with 10x swfa.
Black hills 77 tmk. Barrel has about 50 rounds down the tube just testing out a few factory options.
Hornady black 75 did 1.2” for 10
Xtac 77 otm did 1.4” for 10
Federal GMM 73 gr did 1.2” for 10
77 tmk were the fastest and the best group...
If you are shooting in the wind over 200-300 yards you will need to hold wind in the reticle. You won't want to be shooting game on max zoom with limited field of view with a SPF scope.
FFP allows you to hold wind at low mag which is critical in my opinion.
