Very very very cool.
I knew that Wobbly had a pizza potential.
What a fun way to spread blood and bone fertilizer.

Certainly lived up to and exceeded expectations. Detonate and smearing seem to be the two most common outcomes. :lol:
Close to 4120 fps with 85 grain Sierra's was pretty good speed too although I'd settled on 123 SST's at 3570 fps for the weekend.

Yep, lots of giggling when we saw the acrobatics the rabbit displayed. I think there was a picture of a few of us spread around a large area all pointing at various body parts.

Hey,
The rifle is a Weatherby Mark V Weathermark chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby (factory offering). It’s wearing a Nightforce SHV 4 - 14x56 scope in Talley Lightweight rings. Haven’t done much more work with it since that weekend although a couple of foxes and a fallow deer have felt it’s wrath.
