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 :oops:
I really must practice, practice, practice, a shot like yours would have done wonders for my confidence...... :D

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.

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.

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.

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!
