Oh come on Ken. He's bigger than 10 X 12. Where's the sport in that?
140 yards on a hare, Ruger 10-22 w/6.5x20 scope. I thought i had missed because the hare didn't move. So we got closer and it still didn't move, we walked right up to is then noticed the slightly bloody bullet hole in its neck. Severed the spine!
Can we make it a head shot? :innocent:

Pal, That was pure sarcasm, this cowboy has a great respect for the guns you guys have shot...it goes pretty deep too, my Dad was military. I never enlisted just have a love of shootin' Dad gave me that when he wasn't protecting my RIGHT to have one..
Aaah shucks,, was hoping to see / hear some real boomers :) But it would be a fascinating project I would think,,, just sayin......Quote:

Longest hunting rifle shot was with a 308 at a doe running through a swamp at 100 yds., hit her right in the heart. She piled up on a tree one leap out of the swamp.
Longest of long shot was a tank at 1 mile with a 50 cal. dead on.
I gotta ask....how much bullet drop, does a .50 BMG have, at that distance?Quote:

I remember him handing me that M1 Gerrand at 12 well I tried to squeeze off all 7 or 8 rounds can't remember how many it was but that gun just got heavier and heavier. 7mm was a blast at the range. at 12 too. so you see here I am. Oh by the way by 9, I had my first 870 on my bedroom wall!
About 80-85 yrds. with a thompson center 50 cal. 45 cal. sabot, 90 grain pyrodex.
