Woohoo! 550 yd. rabbit. .243 AI

[Verminator2]

Went out again tonight on top of the haystack. I got up there and after only 3 minutes of waiting out hopped a jackrabbit. I guessed him at 550 and dialed 8 minutes of elevation. I held right on, even with a 4 mph left to right wind, and the 87 Vmax did its job very well. When I went back and ranged him it was 550 on the nose. That was my trick and treat this evening This is my second longest kill on an animal.

Nice shot.

Is that a stock off a Remmy VTR?

[dannybracy]

Nice pic and an even nicer SHOT!!!! Contgrats!!!!!!!!!!!

[Verminator2]

Thanks. It's a stock off a SPS Varmint. I'm going to get a McMillan A5 as soon as I get enough money.

Verminator2.......way to go! Great shot and nice pics. Thanks for sharing and good luck with 243 AI. Just checked my notes and we were shooting at a target at 650 yards, I needed 12.5 moa to be on with 107 sierra's out of my 6mm Remington. Yours is a real flat shooter!

Yeah, its pretty sweet. How fast are those 107s going? My 87s are 3315, and they take 10.5 to get to 670.

[Silverfox]

That was a heck of a GREAT shot you made. Congratulations!!!

Verminator2............I have a few loads H-4350 gets 3180 and H-4831 gets 3100. I'm more after accuracy than max velocity. The 107's do fly great out of my 8 twist hart barrel.

Yeah, this one is a 1-10, once it burns out I will get a Pac-nor or something in a 1-8" twist. Hopefully shoot some 105 VLDs or those 111 Dtachs.

Nice shot verm.
You're a regular rangefinder. How's the bunny population out in those parts this year?

[Verminator2]

Thanks bullfrog I seem to only work in that particular spot though, thats where I spend most of my time so I know the ranges well. It's not great at my house, we'll see how many are around the haystacks once we get some snow to stick.

Holy smokes! Poor little rabbit! That's what I call bring enough gun to the fight!
Thanks for sharing, this stuff is getting me through my funk about the election results. Gary

[Verminator2]

Don't want them to suffer you know I'm really disappointed in the election too.
