Jon, sent you an email this morning. Didn’t see this about the Bunny Match as I’ve been off line since Christmas. But I’d like to participate, as you reached in your hat and pulled out the date of April 30th, is it possible to reach in again and see if there’s a May 30th in there? Just hoping.
current conditions:
that’s Biscuit helping me dig a path to my shop this last weekend. Breakup happens about mid April if we’re lucky, probably going to be late this year. We have snow on the ground from October till mid April. This winter started September 20th with snow. It will probably stay late.
would like to use 3 rifles. Also what’s a good donation?

Stopped raining after a few weeks today but a bit windy and dicey
I wasn’t game to use one of my precious practice targets.
I’ll have to lift my game a bit.
These bunnies looked hard at 50 yards.
Had ago at 100 yards and guesstimated hold over instead of dialing up. All I did was hit near their feet and sprayed them with dirt.
Held the 300 mtre gong’s head down with withering fire for a while.
The blob on the left of the target .
Got that load pretty sorted but it’s hard to know where you hit when there is no dust flying out that far with just my 1x magnifying lenses.
Got it pretty well dialed in the end.
Back to casting and loading for me.
I may have to get mo serious
cheers

I've been out for this last year due to cancer surgery and then Covid. So now I'm a long hauler. I'm hopefully going to be able to start shooting again when the weather warms up.
So my question is what target are you using? I have one from 2 years ago Is it the one? Has a closing date been set yet?
Thanks, Jeff

Due date 30 April 2022. Post marked. 6X max for scopes any field position no Bench rest.

Hope to hear from you,
Jon

Thought I would bump this back to the top
Think I may use this load for the shoot.
Stuck out the practice target and eye balled it off and on so I can get a feel for the rabbits hopping the other way and how it looked in my irons.
Off the bench with some bags .
Next to find a adequate position to shoot from and have a bit of a blast and see if I can come close to this.
‘It must have been the shifting wind and one of my shots was with a completely different bullet all together!
The mirage was horrendous and the sweat fogged my glasses up on a couple of shots.
I may have to try and pay attention to what I’m doing and maybe weigh some bullets and be more aggressive and cull some.
still these hollow points aren’t the easiest to cast.
I did find one that was bent Like a banana and threw it in the pot to remelt
Anyone else been wasting precious commodities practicing?

The weather is supposed to turn foul for the next few weeks at least ; so I went and shot my targets.
‘Snap shot them like real ones.
target 1
7.62x33Rimmed loaded with 3.27 grains bulleye and tuft of Dacron over 150 grain hollow point mihec bullet.
cast 50/50 ww new/lead. Hand Lubed with 50beeswax/50vasalene. S&B srp.
I make it 5x5 + 3x9= 25+27=52.
Shot sitting peep sight.
Second Target
Martini Cadet 0.310"
120 gn RCBS over 2.3 grn bullseye tuft of Dacron set off with cci srp.
shot standing post.
score 9x5 + 10= 55.
What can I say.
‘I would have brung 18 rabbits home to gut and skin which would have been alright.
My parents would have chastised me for not head shooting them and making them worthless to sell.
Buggar that
‘At mostly 60 years old , and iron sights ; I’ll take what I can get and I’m supposed to be eating less anyway.
Ha…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
‘Barra.
p.s For punishment for botching up ….I kicked a coke can and a milky drink bottle around the 50 yard line for 30 or so shots with each gun off hand and only missed 3 times.
Thanks for letting me play.
It’s been good fun and gave me something to look forward too, and a diversion from all that stuff that’s going on at present in the world.

Had health restrictions and, of course crappy weather, snowed in range, etc for a good deal of time.
Now 10 days after my Carotid Artery surgery.. I hope I can get out to play this game before
the end of April deadline. I have several rifles/entries I would like to shoot at those rabbits.
