Did some rockchuck hunting today

[remingtonman_25_06]

My friend shot this chuck at about 20 yards with my 222 Rem and the 40g vlc at 3700fps.

I shot this one with my dads 25-06 and the 75g vmax at 3775fps, at 150 yards. That is the entrance hole, I put it right on his chest. The bullet did not even exit. Pretty good performance.

That sux! + what gonehuntingagain said.

What powder are you using in the 222. I'm using 10X for 3600 w/the 40 Vmax and not pushing it at all. Shoots decent too...

I'm using 22g of IMR-4198. Its a max load for my rifle with this bullet. Averages 3700 with the ES of about 10. Very accurate, punches .1" to .2" 3 shot groups at 100 yards, 90% of the time. Shoots .5" for 3 shots at 200 yards laying prone off the bipod. This is the only barnes bullet I'll even think of shooting. Pretty devastating performance from a little .222 with this bullet.

Thanks,

Maybe I'll try some of the 4198 and the little bullets. I use it with heavier bullets. The old REM 722 has a 26" barrel. Kind of nice....

Coyote bait.

Also you can say goodbye to the hair.
