the enigma Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I was out today spreading slurry and as usual had the hmr stashed in the cab,and managed to take these two................ I pulled into the field with the third load,and there was a group of magpies at the far side of the field. I checked the distance with the rangefinder and the closest one was 143 yards away. So, centre of the first circle on the BDC ret and as there was quite a stiff breeze blowing, allowed about 6" for windage. The round hit home with a good puff of white feathers. I was pretty pleased with the shot considering the strength of the wind. The rook was taken at just over 100 yards and was bit easier as I was shooting more or less straight into the wind.

Aye, I was buzzing when I saw the puff of feathers go up. It used to be that if it was anyway breezy I wouldn't take the rifle out,but I'm starting to gain a bit more confidence now.
