Nice shooting. Since I got my hmr the 22 spends a lot less time out of the cupboard

Gotta say it changed rabbit shooting for me. Have to be much more precise with my shooting and just adding much more to my sport with reloading, having capable gear, and spending time scoping the hills for long range targets, I never done this before 150 metres was a long shot, most taken at under 100 metres, today 50% of those shots were over 150 metres! Moving gong shooting:thumbsup:and the farmers a really happy Chappy :cool:Quote:

Jeeze Macca - my Lab would scoff that stuff like it was his breakfast - you need to start head shooting them :omg:
I had to run them threw, the seater die, then the full length die, bit of imperial sizing wax, but found, that with out annealling they split, this was with PP cases, these are very close to capacity with the hornardy,Quote:

I have three or four boxes of New Hornardy brass, if you want one, $40.
2207 is equlivant to H4198, I gave up as the stuff I had, was to big stick size, and kept blocking case mouth. 2205 = H4227, 9.5-10gr with a pistol primer, 20 v-max worked good, be care full as 1/2 gr is 5-6% of case capacity and can reach max pressure real quick.:omg:
I will have my Varmint Cz back in NZ and dies on the 10th November, have two extra mags on order, going to shave the block on one, and see if I can get closer to the lands, not that I need too. As five shot groups, less that 1/2" last time out with 10gr 4227 and rem 6.5 primer and 20gr v-max, to mag length.
Both my Cz hornets seen to run accurate, with every powder, I have tried, still like N120 the best, but haven't seen any in NZ.
Yea, got to reload at that price, mind you HMR and .22 mag are pretty steep now too.
relocated a few of these on Friday, not one sting

A messy short range kill , at 39yds , it hit so hard that not only did feathers fly , but it was kicked up 2 feet into the air , it has virtually vapourised the chest cavity , I suppose a 40gr vmax at 3000fps will do that .
This was last week , today 2x magpies at 176yds .
Jeeeeeeeezus.... that thing...
I managed to nail these pesky little bastards. They were sitting in the paddock.... couldn't tell if they were eating the grass or rooting up but we smashed em all in quick succession with the Hummer, 243 and the .223
Attachment 41792
They are carnivorous so wouldn't have been eating get your grass.
One takes the .22 in the head while shutting cows away.:D

So, there might be a long range shoot held at your place...........Quote:

nice one. may i suggest an hmr?
shooting things at 100 with an hmr is roughly the same as shooting things at 30m with a 22 on the difficultly scale. Taking shots like that at 100+ with the 22 are roughly as difficult at say a 300m target if you catch my drift.
