Whoa there drew, why dial the scope for 100 yards? 200 yards would be a lot more practical. Now the other problem. You need 19.5 inches, or 19.5 minutes at 100. At 300, each click is worth 3/4 of an inch. So you would need 6 and a half minutes up. 78 clicks would be 14.62 minutes at 300, and the bullet would strike 10 inches high. Depending on optics, you group a 300 will probably be more than 3 times as large. Wind has some effect out there also. Hope this helps.
