200yd rabbits with 40gn Nosler BT

Post by boomer84 »

Hi guys just a couple of bunnies taken at 200yds with 40gn Nosler BT out of my Rem 700 1-12 twist SPS Varmint.

First was a struggle to find an entrance hole but a clear exit.

2nd I also had trouble finding a entry hole also a exit hole!!! The arrow shows his spine! Or lack of!!

You could say I gave him a split personality!

Loving the destruction effect of the 40gners!

We now have coyotes in Oz??? When did that happen?? Don't know how the dingoes, foxes, feral cats and wild dogs will feel about the extra competition on the food chain but I don't think the shooters will mind too much.... :D

heck various groups and fish and game have introduced grey wolves in some of our states, why not Jackels ? They are upsetting the balance of our nature, anyway. Might give us another varmint to shoot/hunt, if they will not place them on the Endangered Species Act. Bill K
