In my opinion no "anti" should even come to such a forum. I enjoy the pics, good ballistic info. Anyway, a good example of the "red mist", google Barnes Varmint Grenade. Neat videos.

I would really like to see those varmint grenades in action. I can't load them in my .223 because I have a 1:7 twist rate and think they not stabilize properly. I did notice they make them for the .204 Ruger though so I may have to try them.
I did use the 75gr sierra blitz kings out of my 25-06 on prarie dogs and had some great results. They looked alot like the above pics. I couldn't stop laughing while watching through the spotting scope while friends were shooting.

i have shot 36 gr. varment grenades from my .223 WSSM at 4560 fps, yes that is correct i cronographed, hit a tree rat in the pooper and didn't find anything but a red spatter...

irish murphy · 04-13-2008, 02:37 AM

hard to believe they would hold together at that velocity

Tamal,
If tou can find a few 50gn hollow points to put through your 22/250, you might come pretty close.

irish murphy · 04-13-2008, 04:08 AM

Have you ever tried those taipan 50 gn HP rob?they smoke rabbits.but can be hard to get hold of.Malcolm bone doesnt make them until there is a demand for them.

I used to use tiapans exclusivley in my .223 for 'roos and loved them, not many rabbits up my way, but I sure 'misted' my share of 'roo heads. (by the way I only opened this thread cause of the 'graphic images' warning, and I'm glad I did)

at 4000 fps. my choice for pure damage is the 55 gr. .243

Dandy Dan · 05-01-2008, 09:32 AM

Graphic image ??? Just a waste of good rabbit. Don't do all that damage and eatem.

You do know rabbits are feral in Australia? I always eat mine, but down there they are like p-dogs here i believe

Exactaly, you'll spend less on food and you can buy more ammo!

AKHunter · 05-01-2008, 12:17 PM

What a mess. Looks like alot of bunny stew could be had if there were only a little more bunny left after the shot...

andrew cochran · 05-01-2008, 12:52 PM

Exactly, I love bunny stew.

Dandy Dan · 05-02-2008, 12:18 PM

Well sell33, If the DNR say any animal is feral, I believe its ok, but I would still supplement my larder. I try to make use of everything I shoot, even use my targets to start fires and recycle my rimfire brass. Thanks for the Aussie info.
