Went out for a wander on Sunday and knocked over a wallaby. Took a friend who is from the UK out on his first wallaby hunt. He gave one a couple of sporting warning shots from the 223 before it decided to vacate. He was then kind enough to spot another roo hanging about under a tree despite the warning shots. Thanks to the suppressor this wallaby hung about long enough for me to connect. It was a fair ways off so I was very chuffed to connect.
Big thanks to @gadgetman for the use of some gear and to @mickyduck for the great advice. The bastard hill hasn't got any smaller but I think my fitness has improved :)
Already looking forward to a return trip with my own rifle!
Had a bloody good Monday afternoon after having no work after mid morning. 11 shot, ten collected.
Trying for headshots after not really using a rifle in over a year isn't a good idea. Got some cracking good shots, but too many rabbits survived that day.
Hawk helped itself to one of my rabbits. Paunched, skinned, diced and salted, this lot is destined to be stoat bait for tunnel traps at the local kiwi reserve.
22-250 pushing 55gr vmax's in the mid 3600 fps range. Had the strangest shot too, headshot a rabbit broadside and only got one eye. Had to follow it up with another round! Usually if I hit'em they explode! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...59e9e4f72b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...131cdcde0e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...02ef91d079.jpg

Mrs MB said she wanted us to spend more time together. I said come hunting with me then and she said yes! We didn't have much time, so we went out to get a turkey and that's what we did.

on the subject of Rabbits hit by fast stepping bullets @Feather or Shoot . . . while not as explosive as the 22/250 in your pic, with the .204R i have often seen the skins splitting down along the back bone with no exit wound. i suspect the outer skin can not stretch enough as the body expands from the violent expansion of the bulet.Quote:

Hydraulic shock. The quick rounds are awesome for it. That 204 Ruger is on my possible re barrel list.Quote:

That riffle just keeps getting better with every shot Dundee :thumbsup:
Another hefty roo from last night. Mate tweaked the trigger on his wee ruger for a significant improvement. A very well sorted package now, performing very nicely.
