6.8 guys that stalk hogs what zero are you using? I'm usually able to get within 50-70 yards. Are y'all zeroing at 50?

Give a 50 yd zero a try. Many report it's about 1.5" high at 100 and back to zero again at 200 yds.

I use a 50 yard zero and out of a 13.5" *** barrel they are around 2410fps. With a 50 zero it is just under 1" high at 100 yards, zero at a 150 yards and 3" low at 200 yards

I have always zeroed at 100 yds. That and the fact that my range has only a 25 to get on paper, 100 yd and 200 yd targets.

I also zero with 120SST at 50 yds out of a 12.5" *** barrel and it is about an inch high at 100 yds and close to zero at 150 yds. Using either an Eotech with 3x mag or Armasight Zeus 3x, so at that level of magnification its difficult to determine exact drop at longer ranges. Most of my shots are 40-150yds so with 50 yd zero it's minute of pig.

50yds on 16" barrel for me as well. After reading about the 50 yd zero and seeing it work ,I'll never go back to 100 yds.
