Long range magpies with the 17 Rem

[Si-Snipe]

Hi guys
Thought you might be interested in my latest video I made. Conditions were perfect for the 17 cal and three unlucky magpies got a taste of the 25g Vmax at 430 yards.

.88" at 500 Yds. 204 Ruger?

I didn't see the .88 group at 500yds. It would be tough to shoot a good group on a swinging target.

Did you click on the link that I posted?

 

[Hal]

I did watch the video a couple of times. Did I miss the picture of the group?
They posted the measurments of a .88 group @.54 footage.
At 2.36 the measure a 100 yd group of .247.

They never showed a close-up of the group. Just the graphic.

What does this have to do with shooting magpies?

Great shooting! Good video. However, I personally would have waited until the bovine got out of the line of sight to the target!!

Hi Don
I hear you mate. The cow was a mile away from the LOS. I checked before the shot was taken. The camera was off to the side of me so may make it look closer than it was. I always shoot imagining the bullet could land well target - there was no danger there.

Nice shooting. A question, though:

Aren't magpies a protected species?

 

[Si-Snipe]

Not in the UK. They are on the vermin list. In many people's eyes top of the list!

They're protected here in the USSA of course. All decisions made here in the USSA are emotional (with the heart , not the brain, that is).

Well done sir! Phenomenal shooting with the 17 cal. Love the 17's as well!
