2" .22LR derrenger attempted SB. After 0 chickens decided to give up. Was fun to watch though.

How about a 338/350 Rem Mag in my MOA. 250gr bullet going 2500fps that made bigbore chickens and pigs disappear like rimfire targets. Dang it was fun!

[Smokin7mm]

50-70 with a 700gr bullet at about 800fps in a Contender. Guy brought it to a match but didnt shoot it in the match but we sure had fun with it after
. It had a red dot sight on it. I wanted to see what it would do on rams but no sight settings past 100m so it was just use hold over. Took about 3 shots but I started hitting rams. It not only threw them down but they were back about 4-5 feet from the rail. FUN

wow they must have been a hand full

I have tried my 1911 and 38 special (2in snubbie)at field pistol targets. What a kick in pants to hit tagets at 100

Once many years ago I had a MOA in full length 375 H&H Mag. I was shooting a reduced load of 77 grs. Varget with a 270 grain bullet. Did not shoot through a match, but did shoot some rams with it. All rams went down with no problem

Melvin,

Did the Rams go down from bullet impact or the muzzle blast?

[Melvin]

Landy,
The rams had powder burns on them!!!!

It actually wasnt too bad. Just a real big push, nothing sharp. Took the bullet a while to get there but when it did........

A couple of shooters at our club tried a .444 marlin and I believe a .375 Winchester on T/Cs, both shooting black powder.

how did they do?

The XP in .350 Remington Magnum shot a 40x40 and won Unlimited in it's first time out with no sight settings and a load pulled from the manuals with no testing. It continues to do well, especially more fun on Half-Scale. Recoil is a bit too much.

The 10mm TC is a hoot, like a subsonic round. Accuracy is excellent, recoil is very low, and it will take down rams at 200 meters with 180 grain bullets. Even the 165's work at my range with auto-reset targets.

The Desert Eagle probably would have done better, but the shooter was not that good at standing. When he hit the targets, the sure went flying! He scored somewhere around 15x40.

The CBC is my gun, and I have YET to find any ammo it likes, including Eley. Still in the hunt for something it will shoot. My only match with it so far was a 35x40, missing a chicken, 2 turkeys and 2 rams. The gun is crude, the trigger is creepy and plastic, sights are also partly plastic, and the stock is nowhere near as comfortable as my Exemplar.

I've also shot a TC in .444 Marlin, a 12" SSK with 2x scope. One match creedmoor was a 40, a few matches Standing, which is actually more fun to shoot this one. My .375 Winchester Hunter barrel with 1.5-4x scope was my first one to try when UAS began. This one is an accurate barrel, tho the scope power was limited to 3x creedmoor. Won the State UAS match with an 80x80 with it, and enough shootoffs. The break makes it pleasurable to shoot, and it's still fun today.

I thought I was the only that shot one of these.

[IHMSA80x80]

So did I...what ammo does yours like? Mine hates everything I put in it.

[xp100ihmsa]

It shoots Wolf and Greentag ok but I just picked up a bulk box of Federal's Auto match for the kids to play with but it shoots better then anything I have tried.
