That was with the cz 527 (95 build) .222.
Its the first time I've really shot above 130mtrs so I'm fairly happy with the results and confident that I'll improve with more practice!!
That looks alright DB yes and practice does make perfect i'm finding that with the new 7mag
By the way whats the ear muffs for do you use them now after telling ya mrs you're going to trade her in
How are you finding the .222 mate I had one once deadly accurate and a very under rated caliber for its size
Wish i'd never sold it

I was hoping to kill some paper today but the bloody wind's playing sillybuggers, gusting and swirling. Maybe tomorrow.

Like you I don't shoot at ranges so its very rare that the scrub let's me stretch out but lately seeing the results some of the fellas are capable of its got me a bit itchy and as ya said the triple 2 is just a laserbeam at tjose ranges. If I can get a bit done with my filly this arvo I'll hopefully be able to breakout the mod 70 .243 tomorrow and see how she goes!
Ps that howa is a nice looking rifle. .I like the fiddle back!

20.5gn of 2206H behind pretty much any 50gn pill seems to shoot well in the Howso, I've also run 2207, 4198 etc with same/similar results as the 2206H. I like 2206H as I can use it in the 22/250 and will run it in the 308 when I get around to reloading for it

thanks for the tip scott. according to my adi load book, that's a mild load . looks bloody accurate but .might have to give that powder and load a try
Be careful DB longer shooting is a disease like addiction you can't stop when you start
Trust me mate I've just caught it with the 7mag once I stepped over the 400m mark something happened
I couldn't stop bettering myself for distance but what has me thinking is where does it stop at what range
But Until then just have fun as there's plenty of it when it comes to shooting sports

200 is a really good range for practice , you will see mistakes that are you at that range you wont see as well at 100
if you go out to 400 even better, and after a short time what you believe is difficult wont be
it is addictive but a hell of a lot of fun, I shoot out to 800 on a regular basis just for giggles
but I wont shoot animals at that distance because I need to use a chest shot and loose to much meat
better to get closer to animals and shoot them in the head for the freezer
good onya for having a crack
