took a little stroll - warning Graphic
I didnt plan on hunting, but after confirming that my Savage was zero'd, I decided to take a little walk and get the rifle her first kill. I bought this gun about 5 years ago specifically for rock chucks, but I had never gotten one with it because I was in San Diego.
Wind picked up to about 10-12mph as soon as I started hunting, and it started raining right as i was finishing up. Ended up with 6 chucks in about 2 hours. Not bad for an overcast windy day.
The rifle is a 24" 1:7 twist, so I was shooting Black Hills 68gr MHP- VERY impressed with the performance. I would say they're even more devastating than the 55gr V-max I've been shooting in my AR.
had an awesome little perch for the first 2 kills.
Somehow managed to completely hollow out his skull, leaving only a mask. Arrow points to where I was - 196 yards.
can you tell where I got him?

I'm sure the little fuggers will be just fine....
Why be average when with a little extra effort you can be exceptional...

It's a .223, it looks bigger on camera
I've taken chucks out to 376yd in this area with my AR, but the typical shots are 160-225. No need for anything bigger.
Im in Idaho BTW, thanks.
