    Yeah .223 only just slightly wings em. This ones feet fell off. Check out the bullet trail in the ground to the left of the bunny going up to the suppresser.

    I dont have a pic, but i shot one from about 20 feet with my .223 55g vmax just as it turned around,
    the bullet went in just infront of the back leg and pulled the skin and everything else over its head.
    It was layed out like a sheep skin on a table.

    Am getting great results on hares with the 50g Z-Max with the green tip

    Anyone else using the Zombie Max projectiles (v-max)

    The z-max is mega cheap in bulk packs.

    I was given a shit load of 50 red tip Vmax by Smiddy.
    Turns magpies and other critters into pink mist.
    Don't like much wind tho.

    That photo of the rabbit is insane.

    Am yet to hit one with my 308, but I imagine less damage than these really fast calibres. Is there really nothing left at all with something like a 22-243?

    Hmm I hit a Hare at 120m with .223 55g front on chest, just gutted him and removed both his hind legs, my boy just couldn't believe his eyes, one of those moments without a camera.

    This was at about 80m. Shot with my 7mm08 firing 140gr of bunny destroying goodness 🐇🔫

    I have started using 30gr ballistic tips for my .22 mag and find they actually do less damage than my previous 40gr jacketed hollow points. They often just go straight through with not much destruction, unless I head shot, then there's not much left at all.
