What do you zero your .204 at?
Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2023 2:55 pm
My .204 has taken over the pest pest control duties from my .223...My .223 is zeroed at 200mtrs and would comfortably take foxes out to 250mtrs.
With my Tikka t3x lite in .204 being a faster, flatter shooting round, I have it zeroed on paper at 250mtrs...And take foxes out to 300mtrs.
I run Hornady 32gr superformance factory rounds and have found them very accurate.
I mainly hunt on foot with thermal. I've found an lrf in the spotting monocular a cracking ranging tool for all the calibres I run. I much prefer to go straight at the target animal and the most holdover I'll use is the furline above the shoulder. If it's windy I simply reduce my range to accommodate the wind strength...It certainly works for me!!
What are your preferences for zero and the allowances you use???
