Will A ???? Go Through !

Just for daftness I thought I'd share some pics.

It's surprising what those little .17's will do.

Well done Cedric...Nothing wrong with sharing the pics. Something different (-:

It is a great little round the .17HMR. Was it 17 or 20 grain round? I haven't had the pleasure of shooting a .22 Hornet though.

 

Thought I would be daft as well and share a little photo of a shot I took at 150yds with my .22-250 (Norma 50gr polymer tipped) It went through 1" of wood, into the 45 gallon drum, out the back and punched a hole in the bracket which was around 4-5mm thick.

would not like to be on the end of that at 150y. what velocity is it running at

[Cedric 132]

That 22-250 does some serious damage. It's easy to forget just how powerful some of these rifles we shoot really are.

I've just sold the Hornet as I didn't need quite that much gun !

[riflehunter583 58]

I have a 223 and with a full charge its very powerful. I'm always mindful of the danger and responsibility.

 

once the trigger is pulled there is no rewind button like on sky or u tube!

.243 will go through 1/2" thick steel at 150 yards, which out of interest is around the same thickness as the armour on a first world war tank

I think its a good reminder of how important a good back stop is.
