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,

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 :PQuote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

Only added up the magpies shot in 2016 for four months,the talley was 269 then i never wrote any more down.So was probably a lot more.
Two so far this year.

I counted 46 in this paddock but the photo is zoomed in.

You have some work to do then Dundee. Get into your gillie suit and lay out in the paddock all day until you have shot every one of the dispicable Aussies
Just think how much they're saving you on grass grub control. Save the maggie;)
Attachment 61524 annual Xmas wallaby trip 120plus wallabies and a bit of pork good trip with good people
Couple of rabbits last night, that have been digging up the neighbour's lawn.
The smaller of the two was shot at a distance of 3 metres, after it lunged around a corner at me, before rearing up on its hind legs in an attempt to crush me with its paws. Fierce beast that it was.
Following the shot, I could hear a horde of 10,000 more stampeding towards me, but I bravely stood my ground and peeked around the corner. Turns out it was just one heavy-footed beast stomping around, so I shot him too.

You were lucky to come out in one piece. No wonder the 'Tussock Jumpers' were so hard to beat. They must've practiced on the bunniesQuote:

The wind was really howling when i hear honking and these land 215 metres away. Some stalking was required to get into 22 range. Thankfully the wind helped out as they couldnt hear the shots and 5 had gone down before the last one gapped it. Bunch of breasts in the fridge now.
Bugger, my worlds turned upside down bloody phone camera should really learn how to use it. Still we are "down under"
ohhh fuck I've had a few Woody's and seen your photo....think I am gonna be sick...Quote:
