				Pdawgs after work Meet the 221 fireball!
			 
			
			
			Well I stopped for about 15 minutes the other afternoon on the way home from work. Thought I would see if I could get a few Pdaws.  My weapon of choice for this day would be the Contender, with a 14", 221 fireball barrel.  The load constited of Winchester brass, ignited by a Remington 7½ primer, powder was Lilgun and a 34 grain HP from Mid South Shooters Supply.  Now while my shots on this day were all less than 125 yards, I have taken them out to just shy of 300 yards with this combination.  I shot 4 times from the supported hood of the truck and got 3 dawgs.  My first shot went high. The next three all found their mark.  The wind was crossing at ~10 mph.    
		
		
		
			As you can see from the attached photo files this combination is quite effective. The Scope is a 2x8 Konas and it is the G2 model Contender. Last edited by Kirkned; 06-01-2014 at 03:02 PM.  |
