Salop Matt Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Iv never even looked at 300yards through the scope on my HMR before so not to sure what it would even look like ! But what sort of groups have people had at 200 yards....Those that have tryed ? is it possible to even get a 4" group at 200 yards ? I think am going to have to have a session with the HMR and explore its capabilitys more (and mine) Ive only ever shot out to 120 yards max !

I think am going to have to have a session with the HMR and explore its capabilitys more (and mine) Ive only ever shot out to 120 yards max ! I can't say about 200yds, but it's well capable at 160, my personal best rabbit is 158 and it was spot on, very good conditions though. I'm not a great shot, so if I can do it at 158, better shots can do it at 200 or further. I really hope I can make this meet, could learn a lot.

Evil Elvis Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 True. How many people would volunteer to replicate their personal best ? Fair play to him. Thanks dude.

If you are not prepared to put your money where your mouth is and join us then i dont see how you have any right to barrack anyone, youve never shot live game with me so how the hell do you know what I'm capable of?

Evil Elvis Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I have 50 so spread at 1 per foot at 275yards we should hit one by 300 yards! Hey anyway, if Pav can do it, why are you so sure i cant? Thats harsh man!! Edited August 1, 2011 by Evil Elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Elvis Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I didnt suggest that you said I was wwilly waving, I simply made a statement. The thanks dude was a genuuine thanks for this: In his defence he is at least offering to go along.

Evil Elvis Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Dunk if you mean this: Interesting write up!!! I doubt even with my 6-24x50 that i could see a bunny at 300 yards let alone hit it!!!! But all the shots i have claimed, the max is 225yards on a hare are all measured with the bushnell laser finder.And lets face it, a hare aint a little target!! That was before I shot 284yards. 225yards is really not that difficult.again i dont think that was willy waving, a hare is a big target as stated. Id tell you about the field of them I cleared at ranges of over 300 yards with my .222 but someone would say it couldnt be done so i wont bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
