I have noticed when I shoot beyond 150 yards that my point of impact sometimes is right of my aim point. Yesterday shot a nice group at 245 yards. I clicked my scope up and it was dead on yardage but I was 1 1/2” to the right. I have noticed on prior targets of yardage over 200 my impact point is to the right. After shooting that group at 245 I then shot back at 100 yards and the round hit dead center. Can I be not aligning correctly?My scopes are Leupold..

It might be a condition where your elevation standard (click/hold-off) is not plumb.
You took care of that while load developing and zero setting at 100yds, but then it would just show up closer/further.
The fix may be to turn your scope in it's rings until you shoot plum across several distances, or by shooting a plumb-line while adjusting elevation.
I do this when I set a 'ScopLevel'

Your scope is probably not level with your rifle.
Do you wrap your thumb over the stock ?
Wind flags?

Spin drift. At 300 yards, I click 1/8th minute left with my 7mm's, at 600 yards 3/8th min; and so on; up to 3/4 to 7/8 at 1,000 yards. Not saying this will solve your issue, but it helps with mine!

Tall target test « Search Results « Daily Bulletin
Google it. Google is your friend. You are likely tipping the rifle when you shoot or your scope is canted. The tall target test will show either. Get a scope level and make sure it’s true.
That's very rare but it's much more common without flags.
Put your wallet in your other back pocket. Hope this helps.
Zero your scope at 245 and then dial down for the 100. If there's drift going this way too your scope isn't parallel to the barrel bore. Burris Z rings have graduated inserts to correct this very problem.
