bit of a ramble here . . . awhile back a mate and i got into a bit of a competition with LR .22 sub shooting, started with targets and later moved to Rabbits/Hares. i thought i had him beat for awhile with 340yrds but he's catching up again. i usually use a Sako Quad Range with 20X Mk4 scope on top but to keep a level playing field i have downsized to a 10X Leupold to match his 10X Bushnell, positive side is its much easier now to shoot the close in animals. in theory he has a slight advantage using a CZ Varmint but this particular sporter .22lr barrel on my Sako Quad in a Boyds stock gives nothing away to a heavier setup.
longest shot this evening 256yrds

What speeds are you getting with the AI? I'm thinking I might convert to that calibre from 22-250 next barrel, for ease of reloading using current progressive press.Quote:

probably not going to be much help to you @Feather or Shoot . . . i dont run full throttle loads, at 3100fps the 55grn SP Hornady bulk bullets i use in this rifle shoot really well so ended up there.Quote:

If someone wants to build a 223ai, by all means do it, I have one and it shoots some of the smallest groups of any rifle I own and I hardly ever have to trim the brass so there are definite gains to be had by going 223ai, unfortunately, big increases in velocity just isn't one of them.
Big days walk on the hill today, one of those days where my wind calls weren't good enough to get any hits with Subs past 155yds . . came close but half an inch off is still a miss

Lambing is about to start properly around here, so went on a wee patrol for the neighbour this afternoon. Popped a couple of black-backed gulls and a hawk, all picking over lamb carcasses.. fine until they start graduating to live but weak ones. Longest shot according to google earth was about 260 metres. 223 closing the distance there..
Google Earth? Can u use this as a range finder for something ¿
Yep, zoom in on the area you want, select the icon in the top bar that looks like a ruler, then select 'line' in the pop-up and click once at each end of the shot. That should give you a distance which you can then change the unit on to your liking. Metres/yards/kilometres etc..Quote:

I thought it is illegal to shoot hawks falcons and harrier.Quote:

How come the Hawks and harrier aren't protected? Do they have sufficient numbers to not need the protection.Quote:

I believe they are ozzie imports like crows, magpies, and the lovely spurwing plover along with a few others
Shot 3 spur wings from the house when I got home from work today and the hawks got them before I could go and clean them up.

I was showing a nest to some workmates earlier this week, and a woman from Uruguay said they have a very similar bird that it their national bird and on their rugby teams logo, she thought it was strange how the Uruguayan people love them and Kiwis hate them for the way they behave.Quote:

Nice to be home and shoot stuff from the door once more.:thumbsup:
DOC reckons there's only a Handful of Falcons left? I'll take a chance and shoot it if there are so few, odds in my favour?;)Quote:

Oh buy the way that's a .22wmr for all the poo poo ers :thumbsup:
No they're natives. Way more native than the spur wings. There are way more of them as they will eat road kill. Falcons only eat things they catch on the wing.Quote:
