Took me two shoots in fairness. Both offhand at an honest 100 yards. After the first shot miss the hare ran about 20m and lay down. The second shot was a classic heart shot. Tipped the hare over, it got up ran 5m, spun around and expired. Did a post mortem with Abby and the heart had a lovely channel cut through it.
Load was a Lyman 311316 cast in oven heat treated COWW over a full case of h4227 for 1950fps. Seems to work.
Kiera had a couple of shots at distant bunnies but didn't connect this evening. One was the pale ginger rabbit we got onto last time out. We'll get it yet.

Great story and thanks for sharing! I am guessing a 300 blackout?

You have a rather twisted sense of humor... I like it. I love that you take the kids out with you. Mine are all grown now. Fortunately they produce grandkids, so I still get to have fun. Good shooting.

Martini in .32-20 with a .303 Brit barrel. I invented the .300 BLK concept about 10 years before AAC. They just don't know it.

Hey! I recognize that hat! :)

Pretty much the only one I wear now. Aside from in the pit of winter.

The mug with the same logo is on my desk at work too!
