The hare that was shot in the video was found here and shot from the top of that fence line.

Are you eating any of the small game Dundee ?
They make excellent casseroles

For close to the same cost in ammo as a 223 why would you bother with a hmr?

@Dundee nice to see you have other interests than just hunting and fishing.
Because you want SOMETHING left over to eat.Quote:

Did ya see the dog @300CALMAN ?Quote:

That missus of yours is to good to you Dundee. You eat like a king.
Close?? I buy Hornady 223 at about $50 for 50, Hornady hmr is about $30 for 50. Kinda close I guess, if you're Andrew little discussing your current employment positionQuote:

Got one of the annoying Aussies. 17 hmr is a neat little cartridge.
i am reloading for around 50c a round but even so I would have thought the 223 would cover more bases for people for not much more in ammo cost
I agree. The hmr is a tad better if you want to keep the noise down compared to a 223. Apart from that and recoil 223 hands down
That's not comparing apples with apples :)Quote:

Magpies out of the window, while watching the match.:D
Attachment 41975Sorry to all my Aussie mates. 4 more years. To soon? Tough shit
Desperate for some decent cat tucker so I found three bunnies - that stopped with a whistle - shooting at the centre while the quad motor was running is a bit messy - but the Lab tidied them up :O_O:
Bloody knife was blunt Dundee - so I sorted out the back straps with a slasher - rabbit nuggets - nah - not this time :chop:
Had some large pieces for a couple of cages, one DOC250 and three timms although the cats may be finished for now - five good pieces in the freezer for some DOC250s on Tuesday
Bloody rabbits are getting away on me and having a field day in the hay paddocks - hope he cuts it this week - then I will get the hmr sighted in

Half a dozen fewer goats is a great stress reliever.
