Rabbit Hunting In West Texas

That looks like a blast. Nothing like slinging things in the air when you hit them. Shredded rabbit anyone!!!!
Nice shooting.
 
I'm shooting IMR-8208 for everything in my 6X45.

Any powders slower burning, can't get enough in the case.
Would you mind sharing some load info.
I had been shooting 70gr varmintgeddon with w748, and 70gr Berger FB with imr4895.
Of late I'm shooting 68gr barts originals with 25.9 gr of benchmark and cci450 in all of my loadings.
 
30 years ago I used to cull them with a bow over near Goldsmith, 25-35 miles East from Kermit? In the hot part of the day they will try to hide in a bush because it’s so hot they don’t want to run. After you spot them don’t stare at them while you just keep walking closer, and they will let you get within 20-30 ft. I don’t have any pictures. I didn’t even have a dumb phone yet. They are good practice for bow hunting deer, since the entire jackrabbit is about the size of the boiler room on a whitetail.

I grew up in Odessa. I used to shoot jacks on the oil leases all over West Texas, particularly the McElroy Ranch down between Odessa and Crane. They were thick as fleas back then (circa 1982).

I shot a bunch with my AR-15, an original Colt Sporter. Many were had with my Marlin model 60. Good times.
