Finally got a chance to put the new .223 to work.
« on: May 10, 2012, 07:14:59 PM »
I've spotted this Chuck several times and he has always slipped of his perch and back into the rock pile every time he saw the truck. Today I had a little more patience than normal and waited him out for 45 min or so. He slinked back out on his perch. I lined him up at a chip shot distance of 177 yards and tipped him over. The BlackHills 52gr Match Hollow Point left a neat little dime size exit.
