Last nights 243 vs 22-250 comparison

It's a wonder the 243 actually killed it. Did you need more than one shot?

243 goes well no dramas at all ,
22-250 really does the damage tho

Quiet stroll 3rabbits and 2hares,


80 metre running shot, getting like DD and The Duke!!!!

Went to go fishing with a mate this morning, knocked a few rabbits over first then loaded up the truck headed of up the road and clearly a bunny felt lonely and jumped under my truck for an instant death...make that 4 for 3 shots...

No photos I'm afraid...

Went a a long range hunt. I banked that the wind would drop out but it got worse, took the wrong gun. Cool hunt though, only 16 shot but 3 were black rabbits. 3 in one hunt...unreal

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ya know

nothing shot over 90 odd yards this evening, to much wind . . .

also decided to go back to CCI subs, the hi velocity ammo doesnt seem to offer any real advantage to me . .. killing power is about the same but one is way noiser.

You got the same wind as we had here in Cromwell in the evening, made shooting hard, the 223 was hard work over 180mtrs, a lot of right to left drift.
I'am like you, only use sub's, have done for years, killing power with good shot placement is good and most of all nice and quiet .

yeah mate, trying to always position yourself in a favourable position to the wind for a longer shot is the challenge . . . without an answer sometimes, frustrating.

i dont bother taking the centerfires out when its blowing to hard . . pisses me off shooting something under 200yds, which ya have to do to tag the little ones reliably.

usually i use hi velocity ammo only in a semi with a 4X scope and ya need all the help you can get . . . but after shooting a few hundred bunnies at longer ranges there is no advantage at all, i think subs actually kill better, which sounds counter to how it should be . . . but they do.

Magpie retiver out of action saw paws.

Shot at a magpie it few saw something then went over and this guy was laying there

Out yesterday 11 hares and 8 rabbits for the .223 with 40g vmax does the job well

Just a couple of bunnies for me.
