Any feathers left?
Had a box of rounds in its guts
Good fun, gotta sort the heavier .17 grain projectiles!
Sorry Guys , did not have the camera with me ? , so a pic of the ammo closet to it .
load is simple , 13.0gr Lil'gun , cci pistol primer , with light crimp , using lee crimp die , chronied at 3000fps over a 35P , and thats with the barrel cut down to 20 inches , std CZ527 has 22 inche tube .
Only downside to this ammo , is it will not feed from the mag .
Ammo box is MTM 223 cal .
Knocked over a few pigeons last night and even managed to recover a projectile.

Daisy hunter?

Pretty much. Cheap locally made stuff that I've seen all sorts of names on (Daisy, Winchester, Kilwell, Gun City, Outdoor Outfitters, ....). That one went through the neck on about 30% power from about 10m at a guess (The one from the big packing shed @MassiveAttack). Can see bits of bone lodged in it and the top half is cleaved nicely.
this chap popped his head up at the range . ..

I calculate I would have fired over 400,000 of those in my formative years @2 or more packets of 500 a week...When I got a higher powered air rifle I found the wadcutters were more emphatic killers on birds they seemed to knock them off the branch/gutter where as the pointy daisy hunters sailed threw bird took flight went ten yards then nose dived.
I usually use the domed variety as they generally have better accuracy than the pointed ones and better distance than the wad cutters. Unfortunately I didn't check what I was handed after asking for the domed variety. Most of them got used at the last camp any way.
