Before i go too far, if theres a better place for this post, by all means let me know. I figured theres more varminters shooting the 204 ruger than any other part of the forum!
I live in western nodak and open terrain is pretty common out here. Getting into the badlands cuts down the distance you have to shoot though. The rifle im shooting is a tc compass (1:10 twist, 22” bbl). I have shot only a little with it so far, but im really happy with its accuracy. 40 gr vmax and 45 gr sp’s grouped sub 1” and the 32 gr vmax was just over that, all out of the box with no break in.
Question i had was about zero for max point blank range. I would really like to manage a zero for all three weights where i wouldnt have to adjust my scope every time i switched rounds. Using the common mpbr calculator, with a 4-5” target and about 1 3/4” high at 100, looks like close to 300 yards would be reasonable. I was just curious if anyone else is shooting different rounds for different game with their 204 and what they use for a zero. Prairie dogs up to coyotes would be the intended game. Thanks for any advice!
