Elliott 436 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Just got back from the perm with darrenb47 and his pal Chris. Awful weather, not much about. Ended up with these two around - 100 yards away, both clean head shots. My god the HMR makes a mess. Going to take them to the butchers tomorrow.. wish me luck Edited June 12, 2013 by Elliott Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 good shooting bud, they didnt know what hit em lol Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thats got to be awesome kinetic power to do that mate. Very humane and I bet they were lights out as soon as the bullet connected. Good shooting Elliott mate. You walk in the butchers with them and the shop will empty lol. 1 Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah pick a quiet time to walk in. Should be ok though as the body is what the butcher is interested in. Its better a destroyed head than damaged meat or a piece of lead lurking in the body. At least this way the butcher can be confident the meat is all "clean". Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Great shooting Elliot Its good you have a butcher that will take them ATB Adam Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Cheers lads. Just phoned the butcher, he's still keen. What's the going rate for rabbit these days? Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 it varies around us mate anything from £1 - £3 i'll pm you Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for the PM Ant Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 in my local butchers they go for about £3-£3.50 I think, so obviously they need to make a profit on them so you wont get much per rabbit, best if you can shoot a lot in one night Quote Link to post
dedger 16 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Nice one Elliott, Did you get your HMR rounds from the PM I sent you a bit back? Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Cheers dedger, yes I did mate. Thanks for the info. Also found my local shop will almost match the price when asked Uploading a short clip of rabbit shooting at the moment that was taken last week. I'll post the link as soon as its done Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 One thing you could do if you find it too much with the Hornady tips is try the jacketed 20 gr. Might cause less damage. Not seen them used so can't comment on the relative killing / destructive power, I'm sure others can. However. I see no problem even with the damage you're showing with headshot. As others have said, its totally humane which is the main consideration in my book. Quote Link to post
Elliott 436 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Bagged another five tonight with the torch mounted lamp set-up. Ranges from 50 - 130 yards Edited June 14, 2013 by Elliott Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Nice shooting but you won't be selling those! Quote Link to post
