1.223 and 3 .260 bunnies

[Elmer]

At long last the grass has been chewed up and flattened enabling me to see the warrens and yes a few Bunnies.
The first pest was taken with the .223 when the pastures were thick but he was still stupid enough to think he was safe...Bang pop lol.
The next three pests were taken with the .260rem in 22 to 28kph winds coming from a 2 o clock position, in strong wind the .260 shine, even though I was only using 100gn nos ballistic tips, the Bunnies are in trouble out to 600.
Past that is where the heavier 143gn Hornady eld-x will take over....if I can only stop pest popping and do some serious load development one day
Its a pity how the .260 has taken a major back seat to the 6.5 Creedless, people who actually own a .260 all say what a great little cal it is the only flak is from the Creedless owners
Anyways I hope everyone has had an enjoyable festive season so far.
cheers and enjoy

Nice work Elmer

Good video, particularly interesting to actually see the shockwave as the round goes in.

Is there actually any significant difference between the 260 and the 6,5 manbun

Not a lot according to Nick Harvey, with the buns sharper shoulder it looks a little sexier.
But from what I have read theres only a flies fart difference between the two...I doubt out to 1000 the Bunnies would be able to tell the difference.

Love my 2 260s, it's the best calibre for Australia. I don't really know why 6.5 Creed has taken off. It has less velocity with same weight bullets, obscure parent case. The only thing it has going for it is its chambers are cut to allow very long for calibre bullets, but you can do that if you're getting a rifle re-barrelled.

Another round poorly marketed by Remington, limited available rifles, limited choice of factory ammo and bloody expensive.....2010 90 bucks for 20 rounds of rem corelokt ammo.
Its a great round but Remington put a noose around its neck at birth.
Like I said people who have .260s really know how good it is.

LOL,,,,,, I bet the bunnies in your neck of the woods tremble at the distinct sound of a VW,,,, or sight thereof.
Well done as usual Mate.
