LR SUPERSONIC??


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

Having sold my HMR recently, I now only have LR.

 

Have tried a couple of supersonic rounds down it and not found anything it likes.

 

Could I ask people to list supersonics they use please?

 

I know every rifle different etc. But help me build up sort of list thats available?

 

 

Sincere thanks for your time..

Really appreciate everyones input, thank you.

 

 

Just to clarify, wife has started uni so its cut back finance city for next few years. Had to sell HMR as was basically new and lot of £££ in me safe.

 

So me thinking is try to find some HV that my LR likes so I can have that bit of extra wack.

what are you shooting and at what range?

 

I use subs all day long out to 100-110

go further if I bothered to use a range finder

 

they will group an inch or near enough at 100yds which is good enough for anything I shoot

its rare that I need to stretch to that to be honest but 40-90yds is the norm

 

I have a .17M2 as well though

that is what the .22lr HV should have been!

I chest shot a hare at around 110-115yds the other day and it just flopped sideways, where it stood.

no exit, minimal damage

 

shot a 3/4 sized bunny at similar range and pulled it slightly entering just rear of where it should

similarly no exit, had to search for an entry!

 

marvellous calibre!

Are you in the south of Scotland or the north of England? (Not sure which wall you're referring to!)

Rabbits etc. Range tends to be 40-70ish as a approx figure.

 

Always nice to be able to have that extra wack if charlie appears.

 

Thsts a interesting point you make, ive read a fair people use subs out to a fair old distance.

no need for more energy at that range

I have lost count how many greedy foxes have caught a 40gr sub in the noggin for being nosey and coming in to a squeak!

Also took one in the bib at about 65-70yds with a Win Sub. not advisable but well within its capabilities

 

went about 15 yds. dead on his feet

I'm not trying to be a smartypants or any such thing, but my question about your location was prompted by you saying that you "chest shot a hare the other day".

 

If you were south of the border, or if it was a mountain hare, or if you have a licence to shoot brown hares as agricultural pests, fine. But there's a seasonal restriction in Scotland on the shooting of brown hares now - they can't be taken between 1st February and 30th September.

 

As I said, I'm not trying to be smart or holier-than-thou. I just don't want to see someone getting into bother for popping one out-of-season.
