REVELATION

Right so we have covered that the .22lr is the perfect close quarters dangerous game rifle , what do you reccomend if I want to do a bit of long range with my Brno model 1? Thinking Gemsbok out to around 1200 metres? Better to use the 40gr hollowpoint for its higher BC or go with a CCI stinger for the increased velocity?

Oh Yes, the 40 gr for long range work, NO question.

My only concern with the 40gr would be overpenetration and potentially wounding an animal standing behind the quarry...
 
You must be a better stalker & shot than me Bart. I've been using a 22 Mag. I better practice a bit.

I think the CCI stingers, after all gemsbok are only thin skinned plains game.
 
Here is one thread I never get tired of... remember it? Laughing my ass off right now...

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
