Ignore the armchair crowd. You know what they say about experts..... EX is something past it's prime, and a SPURT is a drip under pressure.

And who cares about armchair experts for anything other than the entertainment value.....early Jan i was out in 15-25mph winds trying to knock them...admittadely i only had the 204 shooting 32grnr's & thought id try my luck starting at 150 yds with half value 15mph wind...and... ...not a hope in hell...
So i thought id get closer, well i had to get within 80 yds of them in a 20mph headwind & that was still a gamble--out of 5 shots i hit 3 & only one was a head shot... ...motto...leave 204's at home when its windy...
Ive even tried 22-250 in up to 10mph out at 250 yds & struggle picking that... ...so what youre doing is pretty flash i rekon.
One day ill get on this drop chart ballistics bizo & challenge myself with 22-250...but until then ill just pretend im shooting in your vids...
Good stuff...

Thanks stix, no mate was aiming at his chest and yup from the same spot.
You need more practice in windy conditions mate lol , I have never shot a 204 but being so light I reckon (as you proved) they would get blown around a bit...probably a bit like the hmr.
If you want to start long range I can send you a copy of my ballistics charts for the .223 and 22-250.
Even though they are for my rifles ( with 24" barrels) they should get you landing bullets on target out to say 300.
Cheers.

Dunno what that green s**t was, I remember seeing the same stuff about 3 years ago.

Yes i need more practice in the wind...just a bit...lol.
Although the example i gave was a doozy with bunnies by edge of mallee scrub & headwind hurtling over a rise & through fence & edge of scrub so it was very upsy downsy & chopping about every direction where the bunnies were--i didnt realise this until i went out to pick em up--the wind was pretty consistant out in paddock where i was shootn from.
But that zippy little 32 gn bullet seems to dance around a lot...even just going up to the 40 seems to make a difference in predictability for me with the 20 cal.
And i seem to be able to judge up to 15mph out to 200 off my cheek & the grass with 22-250, but much beyond that my stiff wind reading skills fall away to a guessing gamble so i tend to shy away...ive just not really done any shooting in that kind of wind...
...so...
Yes id be grateful for the charts for sure...
Ive got a new scope for the 250 so hopefully that along with charts will boost my knowledge & hit rate...(when i can get out there)
Let me know if you need email address to send info & ill pm it over...

Hi stix
yes mate, if you send me your PM address I will send you a copy.
Ihave just uploaded another vid on youtube using the 22250 whacking bunnies from 300 to 415yds.
If you are serious about long range you will need an anemometer and range finder.. those with the charts (in your rifle) should get you on target out to at least 300.
But remember, the charts are written up for my rifle with a 24inch barrel...also they are hand written, I'm a bit old fashioned that way.
Cheers
