Dealing with the wind with small high speed rounds is tricky. I know what your talking about, I have my own .17 FB and making long shots on groundhogs here in the states, with hard crosswinds keeps you on your toes. Great shooting!!
Very nice shooting and awesome permission you have there Richard 👌🏼 would be great to get somewhere like that to get some time behind the rifle and ring some steel. 👌🏼
Christian sorry for the slow reply mate. Yes the 20gr should do 4000+ and are certainly useful. However the 25gr vmax has a better BC and that really is the bottom line. 300y is doable, sure, but it is easier with the 25grainers. I also found that the 20s didn't feed so well. You're certainly a mile better than HMR now though, either way! :)
Great shooting, I have just recently bought a Fireball after using an HMR for a couple of years. Have found it to be an awesome round and hoping to start reloading soon due to struggling to get ammo!! I'm using 20 grain at the moment. Do you think I can use this round out to 300yd's plus?
17 is so badass great video!!
excellent shooting and very informative thx.

Brilliant shooting my friend
Wonder when a scope and wind meter manufacturer will collaborate and incorporate a blue tooth live wind display on the glass.

Good shot. When will we see you shooting the .50 at 1000yrd pls?

Long range that's what I like!
I just built one. Would love to have your load data. Right now I've had ok results with 18.5g Benchmark 25g hornady hp varmint.
are ricochets a problem with the fireball?
What are these like with windage? 25gr at nearly 4000fps doesn't sound particularly stable
you sound like a brit but the landscape looks to me like scotland.... what's the dillio?
What suppressor are you using?
I use Wildcat moderators on all my rifles :)
it's not $2000 dollars in the US...it's 200
God damn fighter jets messing up the shots.
