Recently fell into a unfired Winchester Trapper in .357. Bad news is, it was mounted with a scout scope. Rear sight was missing. I installed some XS ghost ring sights.
I am looking for a battle sight zero. What distance to zero it at, and what distance the round will cross the line of sight again. I know this will vary with load. I'm just looking for a good baseline to start with, due to the availability of ammo.
This is not a precision rifle. Not trying to make precision shots. I recently bought 9 acres butted up against 3700 acres of timber plantation. Here in SE Texas that means hogs....lots of hogs...and big hogs. I took a 250lbs hog last year on this property. These hogs aren't shy. So this is my "out at the land working" gun. It will keep me from lugging around an AR-10.
Also can this gun handle hot loads like Buffalo Bore? I've heard they can be finicky, but so far it eats everything.
Any advice and input is appreciated.
