The first one was at 102yds, with the reticule nestled comfortably between his eye and ear I touched of a shot, sending the little Remington 40gn JHP on its way.
After the crack of the rifle I was rewarded with a whock as victim number 1 bit the dust, after skinning and gutting I settled in and waited for number 2.
Shortly after a robust buck presented itself at a mere 75yds he was already on ice,...Crack, whock and No. 2 received a JHP to the skull, he sure was an old battler with chunks of ear missing and a few scars across his nose .
Number 3 was a challenge, at 162yds with the sun just above the horizon and shining almost directly into my eyes I had to shoot with one hand and use the other to shield my eyes.
Anyway as Iined him up all I could see was his silhoutte , because of no wind I placed the reticule on his head and touched off the shot, about half a second later No 3 dropped like a sack of s**t from a JHP landing between his eye and ear...glad I filmed it, a good shot for a WMR.
With a accurate Ballistics chart and rifle the WMR gives the HMR some healthy competition (with more energy as well), I have been shooting this cal since 85 my first rifle was a Krico 352 deluxe and it could put 5 into 1 inch at 100yds which back then was outstanding accuracy for a WMR.
I will be shooting the rimfires more (kinda miss them) and this weekend will be another WMR vid, and soon I will dust of my sako finnfire (bought it back in 1999) for some .22lr sniping, should be a lot of fun
Anyway I hope you enjoy the vid
cheers,
Sean.
