What did you shoot it with a 22?

I havent seen any yet... ive got some rather graphic pics of what my 22-250 does with vmax and a head shot.....ever see a faceless ground hog?

No pics but. I got three so far 267 yds 157 yds and 102 yds. I don't like shooting them that close. But whatnot the hell.

Shot this one at 248 yds with my .260 using 142 gr SMK. Not all that impressive of an exit. The pic shows the entrance, exit was the size of a nickel. I've seen many a headless chucks when I used a .257 Roberts with 75 gr vmax and 85 gr ballistic tips. Just using up the factory ammo that I have for now.

I have been researching the hybrids to see if they work well for hunting. I guess if you use one that is at least half the size of your target they work great ;)

The hunting match version

Im pretty certain where all the guts are hanging out is the exit area. Didnt study it very carefully

Not a savage but i was able to get first blood with the 204r MVP. 226yds no exit wound but had a quarter sized blood spot on its belly. Stone dead at impact not even a tail salute :)
