Explodin' Varmits! Great movie....

I worked at a local indoor shooting range and we had that vid on tape...but its a vid you dont want to fall into the wrong hands(guess), it also had a few unsafe practices going on. in one scene you see him shoot at a varmint, miss and then the bullet hits in the background again, a ricochet, if you keep looking there is a moving car in back ground too. gee maybe we should be sure of our background. its impressive to watch, and yes its humane, a 22-250 with ballistic tips(what they used in the vid) is more humane than euthanasia, poison, predators, traps, drowning, and nasty nasty farm impliments(farm implements scare me)..."what lassie, Timmys been sucked into the combine?

ok, im done.
 
From the size of the bald patches of ground around each burrow, you can imagine the economic loss to somebody trying to make some money from alfalfa hay...

I have the video, but thanx for the URL...

I purposely set up one of my AR15s so that it would be the ultimate varmint rifle, it's perfectly recoiless so every single shot is as steady and even more crystal clear than the clips in those videos. It's sometimes a real riot to watch the target do a wet sock toss several feet up into the air. I'm in California and blasting the local ground squirrels which are just as devistating to land as prarrie dogs, to date my record "aerial" was taken from about 80 yards away and I sent the ground squirrel about 7 feet in the air and about 15 feet straight back. Not bad for a 223Remington shooting 50grain Speer TNT bullets, between those bullets and the Vmax by Hornady or the BlitzKings from Sierra I don't know which bullet creates a bigger mess. The Noslers seem to be a little bit more rugged of a bullet and I reserve them for the faster small bores like the 220Swift or 22-250.



It's always amazing when you can hear the "pop" on bullet impact from 300 yards away even though you're using hearing protection.



I've also got an AR10 which I'm waiting to get a 243Winchester upper for, should be pretty nasty with varmint bullets especially if I can get it to reliably run 55grain BlitzKings which should get a velocity of around 3800-4000fps from a 24inch barrel. Don't know if the rifle will be as recoiless as my current AR15 though, right now my AR15 literally only appears to jiggle off target by about 1/4 inch or so at 100 yards when viewed at 20x from the more steady firing positions and one of these days I'm gonna see if I can't double tap a quarter at 100 yards.
