    Six rounds and 6 dead birds this time.

    The finally tally : 11 rounds 223 40gn Vmax, 10 dead pest birds. Ranges from 50 to 240 yards.

    The coffee is now at perfect drinking temp. God knows after that mornings work it'd still be enjoyable stone cold.

    Well done PT.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
