luckytrigger Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I didnt have much spare time last night so nipped to a small shoot just up the road from me. I shot these four after spotting a group of eight on a field that normally produces nothing. Not many i know but it was nice to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethevanman Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 The more I read threads like these the more I want a HMR, made a mess of the top 2 bunnys faces, what ammo were you using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 The more I read threads like these the more I want a HMR, made a mess of the top 2 bunnys faces, what ammo were you using. at the end of the day does it matter if it made a mess of the head? A mess of the head usually indicates a clean kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Mouse Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I was out last night too with my mate , as a coinsidence we also got 4, 2 with the .22 rimmy and 2 with the .17HMR.. took the longer shots with the hmr both about 100yds. They drop like a stone, don't even twitch, if your looking to get a new rimmy get a .17HMR.. downside is that bit extra noise, but it does'nt seem to bother the bunnies at 100+ yds.

luckytrigger Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Must be the .17hmr then, really should get out with mine more often. ALex Yes Alex i was using the .17. Im putting 17 grain Hornady v-max through it which seem to group the best for me although remmies are good to. The top two were shot at 60-65yds, that little round causes some serious damage to bunnies craniums :blink: I was out last night too with my mate , as a coinsidence we also got 4, 2 with the .22 rimmy and 2 with the .17HMR.. took the longer shots with the hmr both about 100yds.

The rabbits i shot last night were all in the same small area and shot within a a couple of minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
