Still some hope then!
Yes Sir, 145 paces......off hand!
Considering how little rifle shooting I do nowadays I was quite pleased

I'd say you still have the touch, Nath. Very nice shooting!
Re: Still some hope then!
Nath I may have missed it,what load are you using for that shooting?I would like to try it in my Winchester.

Re: Still some hope then!
Nice shootin' Nath, I too have been neglecting my rifles in favour of my scatterguns lately, I took my 9422 out the other day and I have never shot so poorly
I really must practice, practice, practice, a shot like yours would have done wonders for my confidence......

Re: Still some hope then!
Very nice Nath. A crow that far away is just a tiny black dot.
What did you recover the bullet from? The crow? I mean I know it went into the crow but I wouldn't have guessed that a crow would stop a bullet that heavy.

Re: Still some hope then!
The crow was stood on the side of a huge pile of sand. The 158 grn xtp passed through and was easily stopped by the sand.

Re: Still some hope then!
Thank you for the load data,I am shooting pretty much what you are and I have also found out my rifle really likes the 140 grain XTP's.

Re: Still some hope then!
140's....they must be swizzling along! I have no idea how fast mine is but it a lot flatter than I think it should be! If that makes sense!milton wrote:Thank you for the load data,I am shooting pretty much what you are and I have also found out my rifle really likes the 140 grain XTP's.
