Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Official 22 caliber dead stuff thread

Caught a bunch going right down the rows of soybeans a buddy sowed yesterday, Hoovering them up. I got two for sure and one squealer that made the brush.
55gr Hornady SP.

Dammit!


Now I got some catching up to do....

In 3.5 hours this afternoon I shot 23 woodchucks with the Sako Vixen 222Mag. I was in an 85 acre second year alfalfa field. I’ve never seen so many woodchucks in one place. I didn’t get pictures of them all, but here’s a sampling.

Way to go Kingston!

Makes me wanna break out my Sako 222 or the Sako 222 Mag! Awesome stuff.

Nice shooting.

A sampling from tonight’s adventures in the same alfalfa patch. One of these technically doesn’t belong in this thread, it fell to the 6 BRA. I shot six with the BRA. Bullets were penciling.

Let’s bump this up again. Anybody else shoot anything with a popgun this year? I’ve been under the weather and haven’t blown a coyote call since the new year started but I have shot a pickup load or so of pigs just incidentally on my drive home and whatnot.

Still shooting mostly 77TMKs and 55 Hornadys.

Those look like eggs there by the butt of your rifle. I'm still burning Hornady 75 gr. BTHP's out of my AR's simply because I bought a bunch of them a while back. No real complaints, my other bullet is Hornady 60 gr. flat based HP's.

Kid, I didn't shoot any because I committed to using lever guns this season, but my brother tested a load I had worked up for my grandson. The results I saw have convinced me to join the stunt shooters. I'll be working up loads this spring for a new T3 .223 with 77gr. TMKs and TBBCs. My Abolt has a 1/12 twist so we'll be sticking to the 55gr. Hornady bullets for it. I"m posting a link to the TBBC thread to make it easier.

You wankers might wanna try something a bit more exciting?

I know my gaff is a bit more than .22 caliber, but....



Be quick or be dead.

DD,

I grew up in Mississippi using catch dogs and carrying them out live to fatten up before butchering. I killed a few with the .22 LR as well.
