Varmints and the 7x57

[303carbine]

After some more load development I took the 7x57 out for a stroll in pursuit of some varmints. First shot of the day was 125 yards on a rabbit sitting in the grass on an overgrown road. All I could see was the ears and his eye above the level of the grass so I aimed at his eye and squeezed. 44 grains of IMR 4895 under a 139 Hornady and with the Harris bi-pod it makes the rifle very steady. The guy that gets the rabbits is going to have to buy me a box of bullets one day.

What kind of bullets? Vmax and other varmint-stlye bullets wouldn't leave much rabbit behind, I'd imagine

7x57

I should have mentioned they were 139 grain Hornady Interlock bullets.....headshots on varmints leave everything but the head. and not much else if you hit the body.
The next to be tried will be the 120 grain V-Max and 120 grain Hollow Point
