Our rifle season hasn't started yet but when it does I'll be posting up with pics.

6-8 skunks
3-4 trash pandas
15 or so rabbits
6-8 prairie rattlers
That's w/o leaving the property.
Super impressed with new Federal 22lr snake shot.
It's like the older CCI shotshells but is all brass, no plastic tip.
It will stick a snake right where it is, nothing but a few flinches and it's over.

Is it bad form to wonder what they are posting in the fieldcraft sub forum right now?

 

[Auby13]

6mm Br with Berger 105 hybrids, 2850 fps
Killed 3 pronghorn from 360 - 490y

All pass throughs, on soft tissue was not too impressive sounding, but through the shoulder bone or others was a good quarter size hole through the animal. Did not liquify the lungs like some better expanding bullets and bigger cartridges, but none made it more that a few steps and allowed follow ups for good measure.

 

[S3th]

140gr ELDM
300 yards
2,750 fps

Entered right ear. Exit shown.

Large Yellow Tom Cat - My Nemesis

Bullet type: CCI Subsonic Quiet 22lr - Non Lead Copper segmented bullet

Distance: 15y

Muzzle velocity: 710fps from Remington model 514 single shot with iron sights.

Terminal effects: Shot hit feline cranium near right eye socket. Appears to have not expended at all. Kitty is currently on life #7 having been killed once previously. I really thought this one had done him in but after a six week recovery, he recently returned sporting a patch over one eye, Arrrr. Am planning him a date with a 17 Mach2, lol.

I had a previous similar encounter with El Goto that required me to kill it about six times before a 17hmr finally did the trick. I am not a bad shot. These feral cats are just really tough. I killed on with a 17WSM that liquified the heart and both lungs from about 40y. That sucker ran for 80-90y and I really thought I had missed it until it suddenly rolled into a ball and tumbled about 10 more feet, DRT.
