Ferretboy111 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 My twist rate is 1:9, i tend to use 55grn soft nose ammo as its reasonably priced at around £10 for 20. Off to zero it at TARGETS . Not a happy farmer im predicting if partridges have been killed, a big loss. Did he burrow under the fence?

Alex still alot of money to shoot rabbits! .22 rimfire is the only gun for bunnies in my opinion i bet you hit the **** bag when you made that big hole in him :o Yum Yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 yes he did somehow he chewed through electric wire,went out last night saw mr fox way to long a shot to drop him cleanly with 17 hmr, going down tonight with the farmer and he is takeing his .375 i cant tell you what he said,but if he is there i will get it on video. when you say softnose is that ballistic tips?.

Ferretboy111 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Patsmash, i dont shoot rabbits with my .223 centerfire, only foxes. :o I use my .17hmr for rabbits! Softnose points are basically lead on the end for maximum shock, more internally, not ballistic tips, they are more expensive and make more of a mess of the culprit, my friend buys them for £18 for 20. Alex Good luck, atleast you have spotted him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patsmash Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 just seems a bit of over kill to me judging by the size of the hole in the side of that rabbit with a .22 rimmy you would have trouble finding were you shot it and i have shot them out to 120 yards. cartridges are cheap as chips aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 patsmash if you mean the rabbit in the picture i shot that with hmr,the hart lungs was like mash instant death. the furthest shot on a rabbit was 167yrds paced,there was two rabbits no more than three feet apart stone dead and it was not a fluke.
