That big of a change at 100 wouldn't be caused by altitude or temp. It could easily be the difference in lighting conditions though.
You zero'd indoors where there was likely no light refraction between you and the target. The target was exactly where you saw it.
When you get outside, the sun causes the target image to displace. Your gun hasn't shifted at all, the target just isn't exactly where you think it is.
To test the theory, shoot your gun again in the shade, or early in the morning before the sun is high. If it comes back to zero, you know that was your issue.
There was no sun and it was drizzling in Kansas but I am going to shoot again in NY when I get home
