Long range rabbits

[shootingcharley 3]

Went out for a bit of fun tonight on some long rang rabbits with my Ruger .204. I did not shoot at anything under 230 yards and when for head shots only i had 2 at 260 and 1 at 283 missed 1 shot just over the top of it's head not too bad i was using the 34g DogTown HP from Midway took me a long time to get the load right but i am now pleased with the load. They make a bit of a mess of there heads but i don't eat that part anyway.

Thanks for that. As you may know, I am planning to build a long range .204 special. 8-32 looks favourite but it's always good to get as many opinions as poss!

I think that will do the job nicely

Thanks pipple. 8-32 it is. I don't like cluttered reticles for long range, I'd sooner range and dial in, but that can wait til it starts to happen for real. I fancy the Kahles or S&B.
