Cant see the head in that photo Dundee unless its that blob in the far distance ,in which case bloody good shot.
.223 last evening,5 shots for 4 bunnies..longest shot 150ish the others were under 50,closer to 25.....and the 50 grn zmax preform same as 50grn vmax same load for same messy terminal effect....young bunnies are not a pretty sight at all,loose maybe 40% of bunny to splatter around countryside....
Mainly hares but have noticed a few young rabbits around the last few days,not bigger enough for the pot yet.
@Driverman it was rather an easy shot as its was hiding just above the post in the centre of the pic.
Another one today

Plover was not an overly challenging target at night. Sitting right in the middle of a freshly plowed paddock, completely unaware of what was coming next. Rabbit was laughing at what happened to the bird - nek minut.

Was it a "foot" calibre to dispatch the chicks?
Smart buggers these magpies. If you have to cock your gun or click-off the safety, they'll hear it and are off. They will also notice anything out of the ordinary, which will make them extremely cautious, like an open window or door that is normally closed. One weak point: they can be extremely distracted by food, like eggs, dead animals or even a McDonalds wrapper/container if you live close to these fast food places.
This .22 is so accurate I can shoot the wings of a blowfly at 50 yards:D
