best shot with a handi
« on: May 30, 2005, 12:46:28 PM »
i've asked this question before but i think it was on the H&R site so i want to see what kind of shots all the new blood has made .

QUESTION IS: whats your best or longest shot with a NEF/H&R?


mine would be 320 yards (really 319) on a doe with the 30-06 shooting a 150gr SST. (longest)

my best shot would be a double i got on some wild dog while deer hunting with the 7mm-08 and it was a true double (i only fired one shot) :sniper: best i've ever done.
curiosity killed the cat , but i was lead suspect for a while

Well this will be my first year hunting with the handi rifle  although I have made some long range shots (300 yrds plus is long range to me). So far with the two handi rifles I own I would have to say my dime size group at 100 yrds with my .223 ultra is my best shot.

Ditto what Norseman said.
Went yote hunting just once last year and he moved before I could shoot. :(
God, Family, and guns, in that order!

Nothing with my new Handi's yet...but with my first Topper 30-30...using IMR 3031...Winchester Super Speed Cases...and a 125 gr Sierra SP...310 yards tapped yards(pre-rangefinder days :) ...)on a large yote...it too was a bang flip...flipped him right over...up until I got my 30-06 Ultracomp barrel...it was my most accurate Handi...
