Great shooting you two. Congratulations Sam on the rimfire zombie head! That definitely should have been three hits. Thanks again for trying our challenges it’s been fantastic watching you guys give them a go. 👍🏻
.love my .22lr rifle. Gees this year alone claimed.34 hares 25 rabbits 8 foxes and 1 wild dog. Their such a great caliber for small game and great for kids on learning on how to shoot and safety.
MarkandSam AfterWork How many minutes of elevation were you using with the 243? I heard you mention windage but I didn't hear elevation. I have the same action and barrel, just wondering if the 40MOA base will be enough with my Argos BTR.
Awesome.... thanks guys. But as old mate mentioned..... thumb placement on that 45 auto had me worried for your thumb ha ha ha......... left thumb left side for most right handed folks, but if you don't lose a thumb in the process who cares..... all's good in the end. Cheers guys.
I wish Howa would come out with a proper twist barreled action for the 6mm pills. Be it a straight .243 Win, 6 Creedmoor, 6x47, 6 Dasher, doesn't matter as long as it had a faster twist to run the heavies. As you mention in the video, I'd love to see you stretch out a 105 Hybrid 8 twist or 110 SMK 7 twist combo.
You need a system that puts the steel plate back up so you can shoot it again instead of going down to it and putting it up. La RUE tactical has something like it.
wow, you never stop amazing me, another great showing I'm half way thru your videos now so expect lots of more comments lol, keep up the great shooting, love the long range 22 videos there just awesome, also i noticed that a lot of your long range videos your using a bolt action is there no semis allowed in aussie land.for long range or is it just preference, thx again
Might I ask which Berger 95gr you use for your Howa? I shoot a .243 Vanguard and it really likes 87gr V-Max. Would like to go a little heavier for distance.
I have a Howa 1500 pretty similar to Mark and Sam's, mine doesn't shoot the VLD especially well, but it handles the 95gr SMK pretty well (usually about .5 MOA groups @ 100).
MarkandSam AfterWork I thought they sounded subsonic on the playback but it can be deceiving what the mic picks up. Thats a mighty effort for the 22lr cartridge & even more impressive considering its leaving the barrel subsonic
Hi Man, I have bits and pieces all over, may do a video on that sometimes, but I use either Strelok or AE Balistics for main apps, Measuring tape for GPS app as well as a Garmin unit, and have a couple of cheap ranger finders, will get a Sig Sauer unit soon, Cheers
Here is a old video of some of the basic gear, ua-cam.com/video/0i0HdvTaDjk/v-deo.html and this is a link to a video with a starting point for equipment ua-cam.com/video/xHRQVRW1oi0/v-deo.html Cheers
Mark and Sam, love you videos, so informative. I especially like this video with the 22LR at 500 yards. I've just recently returned to shooting and started back with a CZ 455 Precision Trainer in a Manners stock, 25 MOA pic rail, Vortex Precision rings, Vortex Viper PST 5-25X50 FFP, Vortex anticant level and Harris Bipod. It has been a challenge hitting eggs and golf balls at 200 yards with these Texas winds so I can certainly appreciate Sam's 500 yard shots on the Zombie with the 22LR. I'm thinking for my first long range centerfire rifle, possible getting it in 243. If you were going to purchase a stock rifle and barrel to shoot right out of the box and had to shoot factory ammo, what would you recommend? Always looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing............cheers.
Hi Man, great to hear your getting back into it, as for rifle, well depends on many things, if you go trough my how to build an ELR rifle, that gives some ideas on how to make decisions, Cheers and all the best.
Great shooting you two. Congratulations Sam on the rimfire zombie head! That definitely should have been three hits. Thanks again for trying our challenges it’s been fantastic watching you guys give them a go. 👍🏻
Thanks Brandt, glad you liked, we had fun with them, Cheers
Still #1 team on here! I've had that measuring tape app for 2 or 3 yrs now..thanks for all your hard work and effort...true professionals
Thanks Man, yeh that app works well and makes things easy, Cheers
.love my .22lr rifle. Gees this year alone claimed.34 hares 25 rabbits 8 foxes and 1 wild dog. Their such a great caliber for small game and great for kids on learning on how to shoot and safety.
Hi Clinton, they sure are, great for plinking too, Cheers
Awesome...loved the competition shooting, as well as the elr shooting. Keep up the great shooting!

This is mu Saturday morning relaxation right here. Mark, Sam, and a cup of coffee. Cheers guys and as always, awesome work.
Glad you like, thanks man and have a good weekend, Cheers
Enjoy all your videos but the ones with the .243 are of special interest to me. The .243 has become my favorite caliber to shoot.
Thanks, and yes I am a big fan of the .243 also, Cheers
Great video guys,makes me want live in Australia everytime I watch
Hi Robert, thanks man, glad you enjoyed, Cheers and all the best.

Cheers Man, Thanks and all the best.

97moa, as for your set up, well depends on many things, I couldn't say, Cheers
Nice ... Cheers!
Thanks man, Cheers
Awesome Vid. as expected..thanks guys.
Thanks John, Cheers
Congratulations friend, I'm a fan of 22lr

So Sam is the better shot, eh? Great video, guys.
Cheers
Would love to see you guys shoot with some Aussie made Lithgows 😊👌👍
Love to, but we don't have, Cheers
Bravissimi, siete sempre al top. ciao
Cheers Josh, thanks
Very deadly couple
Cheers Cody, Thanks

Thanks Man, yes will upgrade barrel sometime and do just that, Cheers
Howa will have a 7.5" twist 6mm Creedmoor available in the US summer of 2018.
What is that type of shooting activity called, that's at the end with you guys moving through shooting targets?
That is called Prac Pistol and Prac Shotgun, as you can see we often run a combination, Cheers
Thanks for the reply, nice video mate!
You need a system that puts the steel plate back up so you can shoot it again instead of going down to it and putting it up. La RUE tactical has something like it.
We will use our swing targets most the time, this is just for the extreme extreme stuff where we need simple reliability, cheers
wow, you never stop amazing me, another great showing I'm half way thru your videos now so expect lots of more comments lol, keep up the great shooting, love the long range 22 videos there just awesome, also i noticed that a lot of your long range videos your using a bolt action is there no semis allowed in aussie land.for long range or is it just preference, thx again
Thanks Man, semi autos are a lot harder to own, but bolt actions are just more accurate by nature, so suits us just fine, cheers
ya, I agree on the bolt being more accurate, just curious on the semi auto, thx for the reply and keep up the great work
Good stuff!! I think hits on a zombie head at 1707 would be a riot!!👍👍
Thanks Jimmy, we have a couple of videos of that at 2000+ check them at, Cheers

VLD Target, Cheers

nice shooting again Mark and Sam...do you do any hunting vids ...Dean UK.
Hi Dean, no we don't take cameras with us, most the time its night time hunting and we don't have that sort of equipment, Cheers
Great shooting Great videos!
What 22 long rifle ammunition are y'all using at that range??
CCI Velocitor, Cheers
Maybe i missed it, but how fast are you pushing the 243?
2925fps
Yeah i dont believe yall need to worry two much about ricochet at those distances 😂😂
Cheers
Out of interest what loads you running on the CZ 22lr? 500m is really stretching the legs on the little cartridge
They where just subsonic target SK rounds, Cheers
MarkandSam AfterWork I thought they sounded subsonic on the playback but it can be deceiving what the mic picks up.
Thats a mighty effort for the 22lr cartridge & even more impressive considering its leaving the barrel subsonic
Cheers Man, Thanks
New subscriber, do you have a video on ballistic app/rangefinder/GPS etc that you use? Thanks
Hi Man, I have bits and pieces all over, may do a video on that sometimes, but I use either Strelok or AE Balistics for main apps, Measuring tape for GPS app as well as a Garmin unit, and have a couple of cheap ranger finders, will get a Sig Sauer unit soon, Cheers
