Finally was able to get the first kills for the Cooper!
This one was taken at 270 yards
and this one was taken at 330 yards
I had one more at 200 yards but I didn't get a chance to take a picture
Looks like it may be a good season!

Nice headshot there!! What bullet were you shooting? It did a nice job.
Take a kid to the range, both of you will be glad you did. remy3424

Re: 1st hogs of the year for me
Nothing like the first kills with a new rifle. I've got to quit drooling over my new M21 and get it dialed-in. Are you shooting off of sticks, bipod, or ? If those are 32 gr. bullets, it looks like about the same amount of damage I've been getting with 40 gr. V-maxes @ those ranges (Rem. LVSF w/22" sporter-weight barrel.)

Re: 1st hogs of the year for me
I was using factory 32 grain V-max and was shooting off of a fence post. Maybe with all this nice weather we're having I can start tryin my reloads out again!
