Where is your point of impact now, and with what rear sight setting?  You can't set to 100 m, sight graduations don't go below 200 (yards).

What sort of PPU - 150, 174 or 180 grain?

Not until you have an offset. The sight blades move the 100 yd POI in relation to the existing sight blades difference between POA & POI.

Do you have a blade at all as you're building? If not start with a zero, & once you have an offset you'll know which height is correct for your build.
