Heres a short vid on a couple of Bunnies I shot with the 22-250 at moderate range. Spotting targets proved difficult due to very good rains resulting in thick pastures providing lots of cover.
Once again the pests had taken a liking to the owners crop (a different one) and have made a nice little dent in it....the first one was at 437yds and the second at 405yds.
Was having a little trouble getting the elevation right but realised when I got home that I had the wrong ballistics data (meant for the .223) programmed into the RF... :roll:, anyway cos of the good rains and lots of pasture there is a mini explosion of kittens happening at the moment.
Cant wait till the grass flattens out and reduces their cover. :thumbsup:
cheers,
Sean.

Good work capturing that first shot.

You can see the bullet arc all the way across before the puff of mist.
