Or should it be close enough? Saving me For the time constantly needing to adjust.

They likely won't be zeroed but that does not mean you have to rezero, it depends on your use for them.
If you use the 185s for long range shooting with a ballistic calc you don't need to rezero just put in your offsets.
Telling your calc you're 1.5" high and 2.25" left at 100 is the same as telling it you're zeroed at 100. The calc just needs a reference point.
4 loads in my 308, none are perfectly zeroed. One or two are very close most of the year.
Now if I want to hit something small at 100 or 200yds I will have to dial out the offsets. I only shoot groups at those distances so it's irrelevant, I don't want to shoot out my poa anyway.
