6BR holds many group records at 600yds but it suffers badly in the wind past there compared to bigger chamberings.
I could stick my ATAC-R on it and easily get to 1000 but wind's always gonna be the problem.

I'd be much better off past 600 with my 6x47L driving the 105s but they aren't as explosive as the 87 V-Maxs. The 105 Hybrids out of the 47 are about 7mins flatter to 800 than the 87s out of the BR and they drift over 3.5mins less in the wind. It'd only be greater at 1000.

It was very calm (if not warm) down in Central Hawkes Bay this afternoon but the number of targets was very low. We saw a total of seven rabbits where we would normally see 20-30. The RCD has really dealt to them. I got two of the three I shot at, the closest being 257yds. Was surprised I got them as the zero was guessed a bit.. The 87 V-Maxs sure do the biz- a "pest bird" was completely gutted at 220yds, not a lot left ..
