t.t Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ive been having a struggle of late with exbal with a bit of tweeking here and there with bullet coef' and bullet speed ive done it Ive been waiting for the weather and a day off work to coinside with one and other and finaly got it all together yesterday !! went out this morning flat calm and checked the windage on my scope was centred as it was out a little yesterday with a wind gusting up to 15mph. with that done a bunny was bagged @ 169yd then another @252yd a magpie missed @362yd (it was sitting facing me so a very small target area) but a miss all the same then another bunny @377yd all shots were taken using exbal but didnt dial in the windage just held over another reason why i missed the maggie riffle used tikka 595 .223, nxs scope, 55g vmax, 27.5gr varget, cci primers, sitting 3thou off the lands. the barrel on the riffle has been chopped to 18.5" with an atec mod fitted. hope to get in the 500yd club this summer with exbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Welcome to the club looks like you had a great afternoons sport. Magpies are a bugger of a target to hit as they are so small and don't stop long to get a shot in. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.t Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 dont know Col as ive just had a letter off the police saying i have lost the permission on the land that i took you on, and that there was a new keeper on the estate and he had the shooting rights and that the tennant farmers could NOT give permission to anyone wot a tw@t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.t Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 wasnt calling the keeper mark just meant "wot a tw@t" as in thats life and things change and you cant do nowt about it!!! but gonna go and meet him and maybe just maybe get this permission back as i only shoot on this farm for evening long range bunny's. ive had permission on the farm for over 10yrs with no complaints from anyone. heres hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 As I understand the law a tennant farmer can legally let one named person in his employment or pay roll control pest species on his land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.t Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I thought this too but i'd rather keep things amicable (spelling) so if i loose it i loose it just have to get my arse out and find a replacement that will be just as good if not better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermincinerator Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nice shooting Tommy, well done. I too am aiming for the 500yd shot after the harvest and hope to pull it off on the same ground where i got my 455yd bunny. Me and my shooting mate lost a corking piece of land after only having it for 10 days, see my post; "Unreasonable Or Not" Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967spud Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 long distence shots should be on paper targets only and not on wild life Personally i'd edit that post mate, before you get loads of abuseand greif for such a statement. One mans long distance is another's zero, we all need to know our limltations. Good luck for the next few posts on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
