[coldweld 65]

Well i've now had my .17 fireball shooting for 2 weekends !

 

It's total rounds todate is 26 shots fired.

 

Three of them were fox's two adults and one cub, one was a squirrel and a rabbit ! 6 shots were to friends having a go, the other 15 were zeroing.

 

What a Peach .

cracking round my mate shot mine the other day and he put 3 shots into a silly little group. mine hasn't had much load testing yet also !.

 

im going over to the 25 grain berger bullets soon. as mine is a 10 twist the 25 vmax more then likely wont shoot in it.

 

if you got the 9 twist then your sorted.
