ShaggyRS6 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Went out for a couple of hours this arvo. Got a total of 10. I took some piccies of some of the bunnies. All frozen apart from the one with the open wound. He was a bit messy inside. I got them all from one Warren that i concentrated on, there is a shot the particular lane included. will be back there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 nice shooting mate but i dnt like the look of that body shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I got a question about that. Should all HMR shots go in the head? Or is anywhere from its ribcage up wards ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Head for food, body for vermin destruction. HMR will kill either way. I personally go for the head in all options, and all quarry.. but going for the body increases your chance of a kill (theoretically) I seriously like you Landy there. I think il be buying a propper 4x4 instead of the Suzuki SJ I have. Il start looking properly come summer as I only have a budget of about 500-600 squids at the moment Edited February 9, 2008 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 For information I was using Federal Vmax 17g. Its only thing i can get a good grouping with. I am going to try some hollow points tomorrow that I have left over, just to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) good do . lee . as your confidence grows with the rifle the shot placement becomes boringly easy mate. is the rifle new from the shop please. I am going to try some hollow points tomorrow that I have left over, these are the only 17 hmr rounds i have heard bounce. be carefull.

Dougy Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Sparkie, other stuff as in Other Ammo? nosey parker sparkie lol tried all the others, i wish i had a £ for every time i was told all HMR ammo is the same. From people who should know better (RFDs) Its up to you shaggy but to be honest i would save your money and stick to the feds. if you can buy a brick or 2 at a time and check for the same batch number, last lot i got were £9 a box i ended up having 1000 off the RFD. dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandersj89 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Shaggy Gald you are enjoying the HMR, I love mine also. I played around a bit with the 20gr CCI hollow points vs the 17gr rem V-max, http://sportingcountryside.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3255 I know that I will stay with the 17gr V-max for the bunnies as I found it more accurate and did not get so many shoot throughs, will be ineterest to see how you get on. Of course each rifle is different and yours might like feeding differently to mine. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
