shropshire dan 467 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm off out with the new .22-250 tonight after charlie(s).I've bought some tripe meat to put down on their normal run to try and keep them still long enough for a shot. planning on putting bait along their trail and setting up on bipod putting the bait out at 100, 150, 200 and 250 yards. Went out on the targets yesterday and managed consistent 2 inch groups at 300 yards so need to now apply this confidence on a live target. After doubting my abilities recently when charlie arrived i know now after yesterdays zeroing session/practice i can/should easily take charlie out to 300 yards. Yesterdays trip cost me bloody £75 lolFingers crossedDan Quote Link to post
