Yes, I zero'd it with the chain. It is only about a 3' section of chain so even without zeroing it with the chain it wouldn't make more than a couple pounds difference though.
I have shot 1 hog that weighed in at 245lbs and 2 others that were as big or even a little bigger than that one that I didn't end up weighing (1 because it broke the 1/4" rope I had, and another because I didn't have a truck to move it with).
Here's the biggest pig I've ever shot, I didn't weigh him but I'm guessing him right around the 250 - 260lb range.
Here's the one that weighed 245lbs.
