I have succumbed.....

My HMR is zeroed at 100yards, but that's what works for me!

Phil, did you mention a 22wmr for sale??

Not me Bernard but funnily enough, my ticket came back on Saturday as they had printed a .22 spare barrel not a mag / wmr barrel so now it is reprinted reading a .22 wmr barrel, I popped over to my rfd to pick up the said barrel, good job this guy didn't know about my barrel although in fairness it was included in the package with the hmr.  I do have a temptation to tease on this one however.........................perhaps not.

It will be interesting to see how they compare back to back Phil.

To be honest DB, I only have the wmr barrel because it was included in the sale and having owned a wmr before, I am aware how well they run but the hmr is for long range bunnies which I believe will be better for that job.

Very interesting Mitch and I am not surprised at the effect of the hmr.  Great pity he didn't examine the blocks in detail after the first shots which would have been more telling.  

 

My buddy and myself are out tomorrow to put our hmr rifles through their paces  as over here we are enjoying some calm weather for a change and I will be doing some more tests with the zan slugs / wildcat fac so a good day with luck and a few pigeons to follow with the Browning humpback semi auto.

Not a very good comparison, ballistic tipped bullet vs jacketed hollow point. Should have used ballistic tipped .22 magnum for a proper comparison. 

[philpot 4,967]

Well so much for having a full day testing the rifles and sorting zeros now that all the scopes have been swapped around. A lovely day weather wise BUT my dear wife tested positive for covid so we are not going anywhere even though I am stiil clear at the moment.  For two years we have been so careful only to pick it up from my grandaughter, thankfully as we have had all three jabs, we hope it gets no worse than flu and that I keep clear but who knows.

I’m sure it won’t Phil 

speedy recovery to you good lady ,

atb mate 

[BenBhoy 4,706]

Fingers crossed Phil. Remember I'm not a million miles away if you want anything, food etc. Stay safe mate. 

[philpot 4,967]

Thank you very much chaps, I am sure she will be fine.

My eldest daughter and family have all had it and the 4 year old grandaughter seemed completely clear and about a week after they were clear and we went to see them, she tested positive the same evening that we popped round in the afternoon.  Just sods law I guess.

It's a pain isn't it.

It doesn't seem as bad as it was now but still a pain and a bit of a worry.

Look after each other Phil, I'm sure you will be OK.

Strange I have worked very close to tradesman who had covid bad but never caught it . My daughter had it over Christmas bad and once again never caught it . 
my be it’s true when people say I can walk on water
