cooperman223 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/st...171541351-1.flv I went out playing yesterday afternoon, these were playing out at 325yds, i dialed in 2min, wind was next to nothing, and got the shot, at first i thought i had missed but when i got home and watched the vid i am not sure. I was shooting my cooper .223 with 75gr Amax, a good bullet for good ranges. The sound is like a hit and you can see the fur fly, but it could just be that i scraped it or the bullet not expanding and going straight through???

auquhollie Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That looks like it was i direct strike in the stomach . You can see the fluff floating down after the strike. ide say bullet didnt expand. Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffshrek Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 watched it a few times and it looks like a scrape over the top . if it hit and bullet did not expanded the rabbit would of shown more reaction to the shot than it did ......neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varmartin Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 watched it loads of times...at first i thought it was a direct hit and no expansion...but now think it was a belly skim.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auquhollie Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That's what i thought. BUT if you re-play the same bit over and over you see a red patch appear on the side of the stomach as the bullet strikes. I do agree though. You would expect the bunny to have showed some sign of impact. Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit fingers Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 IMO Gut shot and bullet didn't expand enough. Had it been a vmax I think it would have been another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemasis243 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have to say after watching it a few times ,I think you drilled him mate But as the other guys have stated theres not much reaction as you would have expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well,I'm afraid I think you just caught the belly fur,and,I will quatify that by saying that if you had a direct hit,any fur would of been pushed on through the rabbit,but,as it flew up in the air,in my opinion it was just a very close miss.......sorry.I also didn't hear a gut shot,and,we all know what they sound like................Martin.

bigun Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 at the back of the rabbit after it has moved you can see a bullet hole in the soil neally in the middle of were the rabbit was sitting ,but the camera angle is higher than the shooter was but it was a hit but not a kill so really it dont count ,,its only a kill when its at your feet and not moving ..but you did hit it, another inch higher and it would of been in bits still a good shot though ..

tikka 223 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 play the video once the rabbit moves you can see where the bullet struck ,put the tip of a biro on the bullet strike and replay the video a low belly shot just making contact A fair shot though all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman223 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I thought a bit low, the hair that floats down looks white belly fur, it takes off exit stage left at good speed with no sign of injury, i have shot 75amax bullets for years now in my .223 they realy do expand with any body shot, no different to vmax. funny thing is when i looked at my data it gave 2.1moa, and i dialed in 2, with the range being 325yds and the data 300yds the .1 was critical (1/4" clicks at 100yds) we live and learn. The camcorder is new so it was an experement with that also, first impressions at that range is good, its just a bit of a head scratcher to load vids Thanks for the replies john.

robkayak Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Low miss. but I have seen a rabbit shot with a 308 FMJ which ran 12 M before dying, so non expanding can cause 'runners' even with small game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just a shade low. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ive watched it a few times using pause and play at the sound of the shot / reaction Looks to me like the bunny rolls away from the camera at the moment of impact, the impact looks to be high shoulder / back in a fleshy bit. I dont think its low, I think its slightly high and the fur being "thrown" vertically supports this. If the bunny was hit low, the fur wouldnt go up as it would have a bunny on top of it Bunny probably has a crease and hair missing at point of impact, Just my 2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The flying fur is white which would indicate a belly shot? Just a thought. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The flying fur is white which would indicate a belly shot?Just a thought. Dave I also believe it was low/belly scrape shot, if you watch it thru you can see the bullet strike hole in the ground, then watch it several times thru and plot the strike hole in relation to the rabbit, it looks low Looking at the surrounding ground, it looks like you've had a fair bit of fun there recently Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
