varminter Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have recently switched from the 58 V-max recently to the 65 V-max in the 6PPC , so now that i have sorted a very accurate load out , its out and about for some varminting to see how she fares!!! Did not have much ammo loaded , so i loaded some up for a late evening shoot . unfortunately was not able to catch up with the fruit slayers but hope they had a great time!!! Wind was quite blustery when i arrived at the farm but started with a nice 194yd bunnie , then later on a 272yd one!!! I moved on to another farm and missed one at 264yds!!! ... Another bunnie popped out at 273yds near the same area and knocked that one over!!! I moved up to another area of the same farm which enables me to get out to 421yds , First up was a 385yder then 2 others at 234 / 251 and a 270yds - so i was very pleased with how things are performing!! I was waiting for others to came out when the phone rang , it was 17 rem from on this site!! We was having a good old chin wag talking about rifles when i noticed a bunnie at 366yds , so while i was talking to 17 rem on the phone ( he was on speaker phone ) i was dialing in for the shot!! I told 17 rem what i was doing and he said " i will ring you back " , i said no worries as i was about to release the shot!! What with that the rifle went phut!!- wizzzz!!!- fwwooppp!!! - i said " did ya hear that!! " , i certainly did was the response!! Then later as we was chatting on the phone another bunnie came out at 394yds!! , same thing - dial in and phut!!! - wizzz!!! - fwwoooop!!! , i said " hear that too!! - and yes was the response!!! As always - it was great to speak to another Uk varminting member and a first for me to be speaking to someone while concentrating and making the shots!! :D At the moment i am very pleased with how the 65 V- maxs are performing in the PPC on the longrange pests!!! All the best................... RAY............................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
