Pretty cool video.
Read an article on the Pope Gun in Australia. The .243 is just as popular here so I thought I'd post it up for all the .243 lovers....

Great rabbit cartridge the 243.
I prefer .270 for large Rabbits and Hares as the .243 can lack penetration if a stout projectile is not used.
Ahh the .243. Mine likes 87g vmax, rabbits don't look too pretty afterwards

Yeah, a few of the bunnies in the video don't look too flash either.
Exploding bunnies..!
Are there many places in NZ with that kind of rabbit problem? I'd love to spend a weekend doing that kind of shooting with a BA .223.
+1 here have heard central is heaving with bunnies. Problem as always is access..... Maybe a forum member knows a few spots and could organise a weekend bust up?Quote:

Places like that don't stay like that because they get mandatory poisoning.
Even better necked down to .22Quote:

I had plenty off roast rabbit in the 50ties that's for sure. Maybe I could neck down the 45-70 to 6mill, :), would be a good long range wild cat buggies buster.
