416 Rigby Fun in the winter
      23/12/09 10:39 AM

I'm outside plowing snow with the tractor today at our new acreage. I noticed beside the house is an old plastic rain barrel that's SOLID full up of ice. So I scooped it up in the bucket, and decided to plop it at the far end of the yard and have some fun.

The Rifle:

Brno ZKK 602 in 416 Rigby



The Load:

400gr Hornady RN Interlock, pushed by 81gr IMR 4350 @ ~2100ft/s



I setup 50 yards away, its the furthest I could get without walking in 4 feet of snow. I cracked off 3 rounds, just aiming for about "minute of barrel" I know the gun shoots, so I'm not after a grouping, just having some good ol fun. I wanted to find a dowel or something similar to check depth, turns out, I didn't need to, all 3 rounds were through and through's!

Some Pix:

Front of the barrel:



Walking behind I noticed some debris.... I didn't expect the rounds to go right though!



3 rounds, not a bad grouping either!









I was shooting slightly downwards, from 5ft elevated platform, and buried behind that snow is a backstop of rail road ties, never know, come spring I might run across the projectiles


Merry Christmas, hope everyone's having as much fun as me!
