Early Summer Bunnies with the .22Magnum.

Post by Elmer » 12 Dec 2021, 7:30 pm

Well another enjoyable day on the Bunnies with the .22WMR, shot from 100 to 155yds in relatively calm conditions.
Using Remington 40gn JHPs it had plenty of punch and I would be confident in shooting them out to 200 like the HMR, in perfect conditions.
Hope you enjoy the vid.
Sean.

~Shame on you Elmer,,,,,,,,
I'm convinced that you've been bullsh!tting all of us but now I've got it all worked out.

I reckon you sneak out there every night and hand feed all those monstrous bunnies with vitamins and hormones. :silent:

I can't get over the size of em Mate. :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

G'day,

So much for .22 Mag. rifles being inaccurate - unless of course DJ is correct and Elmer's been feeding them to the point they are as big as elephants and even Blind Freddy could hit them with a yonnie shot from a ging.

Thanks Rich, yes it is but with better quality ammo it's closing the gap to the mighty HMR.
