    Yup. Used to hunt with a bloke that believed his 7mmRM, factory ammo and a 100 yrd zero shot flat to 500.
    Said he has shot heaps of deer that way out to 500.
    First time I went out with him he gut shot a spiker at 100 yrds after I talked him out of taking a 350 yrd shot off a tree. 😆 Should have left him to it as it would have saved me and my dog the extra work.

    And I heard that Dundee was six foot six and had just scored a modelling contract with a major Parisian suit maker.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
