17 hmr zero

[villaman 9,980]

What would you zero 17 HMR in and what ammo would be best or is it what suits your barrel  ?

[Stavross 13,742]

Both of mine are zeroed at about 100 yards, as it’s a flat flying round I’ve found that anything you are shooting at between 50 and 150 yards just put the cross hairs on it and pull the trigger, as for ammo the most common and easy to get hold of are honrnady v max 17 grain, I’ve also used Winchester varmint hv 17 grain, I’ve not noticed any difference between anything I’ve put through them

As above but I do like the federal 17gr ballastic tip, the grouping for my t-bolt is a lot tighter, or I might have just convinced myself of that

Depends.

How close can you get to the mice?

I have slippers made from mouse pelts, they think I'm just another mouse I can get close enough to flick their whiskers if I so choose

100 yards works for me, 17g Hornady V-Max.

Another for 100 yards. I haven’t noticed much difference in accuracy with different rounds but if anything, the 20 grain CCI’s possibly have the edge. All minute of mouse, no problem.

Ha ha, that couldn’t look anymore photo shopped if they tried, my nephew could do a better job with his scissors and prit stick

There's actually quite a few photos of Giant Rats if you search. Reportedly London is having an issue with super giant mice. Maybe it's time to break out the CF's:
