Another chirper - 17 grs at 50m
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...G_3568%202.jpg
Almost forgot the rats - haven’t trapped one for three weeks - getting a few bird strikes in my open traps using orange GN Possum Paste and not getting any rats - so decided to change lures - been using GN possum paste for the last three years - now changing over to Ferafeed - “Smooth In A Tube” from Connovation - nice smelling blue lure - designed as a possum pre-feed before feeding them the real deal
Checked about twenty traps today - two rats so I am happy with the blue stuff

Wow you have a ready supply you could go into business :thumbsup:
What you going to call this new business?

approximately 20 to the Remington this morming . . nothing over 250yds
Attachment 60493
these 2 first off with CCI subs at 212yds to get started, shot another 35-40 mostly 50-120yds & called it a day
thought i hit 1 at 406yds but no body found, it maybe just ducked at a near miss or managed to get down a nearby hole.

not sure why this pic is over on its side ?
tried to confirm bullet drop later but by that time of day the wind was to strong and all over the place, lucky to get 2MOA. . then it started to rain . . bugger !
first group at 200yds without allowing for wind - second dialed 1.5mil for good center hit - 3rd at 408yds with the tricky fluctuating head/sidewinds really making things difficult . . enough for low hits
all good tho . . hopefully get a good low wind day soon for some serious target work.
PS scope now has 65MOA of lift added which gives a zero of 151.5yds and a potential elevation to get me out to 420yds.
time of flight for 408yds is 1.5 seconds with a drop of 270 inches.
Another maggie tonight shot with me ole faithful from the quad with the green spray tank on:thumbsup:

Bowled a mixture of 31 hares and rabbits on Wednesday night, good shooting with the lads. Got to love the cci stingers, they worked a treat.
A lovely warm NW (with little wind) evening, rare on my usual spot. Found out the lucerne had been cut and baled. So took out the 223 and sat on the hill above with the Vmax and binos. Heaps of bunnies came in and out. 15 shots for 13 dead, from 40m to 178m.
The handloads are working well. Love the Ballistic recticle on the Vortex. It was spot on tonight.

Those 50gr Vmax make quite a mess.

After three months of asking him nicely - then not so nicely - to remove it - he finally brought his digger over, cut it up and dragged it back and dumped it in a gully
The 4*1 board is the boundary line - he was convinced it was our tree until we proved otherwise - there are a few more to come down sometime so the wires can stay flexible - no stock on either side of the boundary - just possums on his side

No photo's sorry guys but shot a new farm yesterday evening, never seen so many, ran out of ammo. 2 hours 80 shot and only covered 25% of the farm !!
Arrived home from work during the week and was on the phone to my mum. Walked into the kitchen and looked out across the lawn. Had to put her on hold for 1/2 a minute while I sorted these pesky lawn diggers out. Three shots rang out from the kitchen window. Came back on line and the first think my mum said was "More rabbits dear?". Every time I fire a shot the next door neighbor's pig comes trotting down to the fence looking for her prize. She thought it was Christmas!
