Liking the Hornet , using a 40gr Vmax at 3000fps , used a online programme " shooterscalculator " , not bad for a free one , just printed it and taped to the stock .
Cheers Chris
18 roos this evening.. to go with the 18 roos and a possum from friday night :D
Kills from 210-360y with the last of the light, then pulled the torches out.
Would have had a few more kills if I'd remembered to throw an extra box of ammo in. Ah well, more for next time!
Well done. We will have to rename you Kanga KillaQuote:

Stupid Austin idjit
1397 rounds left, got a starling this morning that was attempting to nest in the roller door of the vat stand.
Saw two hares tonight but ran towards neighbours property so never took a shot as I don't know them yet.:)
Some ozies are just dumb..... Or maybe the exception is that some are smart.... :ORLY:
Jump the fence and say hello Dundee. Take a cup of Watties and say "you'll need that for when I come over for dinner when the missus is away"Quote:

Not bad sized cats busted poaching chickens. Please excuse the gore on the second photo ( well placed shot by my standards ).
Its all good rooting pussy:D
59 Wallabies and two hares tonight. Checking out a block we hadn't night shot in for ages, turned out to be full of them. A few times I'd turn the torch on a new patch, to see a cluster of 4 or 5 just looking at me.. Not too many got away though!
Exhausting work.
It's not all that bad chewing on it as well Dundee. And before any of you buggers give me shit about that, our local Chinese takeaway ......... Ah fuck it who cares?Quote:

Good shooting Blaser:thumbsup:
I allways thaught a 223/22-243 or 22-250 set up as a varmiter would be ideal when I lived in canterbury for those long big open paddocs
Bit of envy creapin in
I learnt to shoot on one of those but with normal irons, accurate wee riflesQuote:

Took Cambo out to a farm I have access on to. It's on the flats near Rakaia. The cocky had left lots of paddocks open for us to access. No wind & hares for Africa. We simply drove in and out of them with the barrel out the window of the surf, stopped and shot up any we saw. We gave up at 15 as it was nearly 10pm and it would took a couple of hours to harvest back steaks and back legs.
Anyone taking Cambo for a spotlight, make sure the dumbass hasn't got his scope screwed up to max magnification :) otherwise he can't shoot for sh1t :p
3 possoms last night taking the dog for a walk to scout for pigs
would have tripled that if I had taken a light
9 wallabies and a dopey fallow this afternoon, to go with the 44 wallabies from last night. Time to sleep for a week again :O_O:
Having a play at stretching the .223 out again, with my brother dropping one at 375 yards with my rifle yesterday, followed by me rolling some at 385, 410 and 420 after some poor efforts to start with. Then just as light was falling this evening and all was quiet nearby I spotted a big fella sitting out in the distance, 550 yards away. One shot, down it goes. Extremely satisfying :)
bloody good to see those furry wee aussie bastards gettin a hiding.about 30yrs ago remeber shooting 4 on a landlords farm.late afternoon tookme trusty wee stirling.22 and dog -off for a strollafter bunnies.just at end of cowshed ramp and bugger me days out hurtles a petite wee possum doe -horny as.stopped on log up goes arse in zooms boyfriend hops on thrusts it in BANG
smack in the lughole he falls off -
bugger me in zooms mate and plugs in -two grunts
BANG
shes a little concerned at this but whoa heres bigboy (a big sliver grey) -he nearly flattened her-she sqwauked and stirling replied
That fucked that idea.
by this time she's highly pissed and roars up the old willow sits up and gives me a gobful
stirling had the last laugh.
unbeknowns to me landlord was working in the milking shed and hearing my first shot poked his head out.
reckons its the best bit of entertainment hed seen for a while.!
.303 is also good tucker -if you like furry fertiliser spread about. yeah180gn roundnose slugs are a little overkill!
Ishot many on that farm.another night 9/10over the yardarm missus c/otwo bastrds scrapping in a fruit tree outside our window.staggered into gun room -grabbed .22sx2and shotty and emptied the fucking lot out the open window. dunno what killed em -sight of a skinny white boy in tiny undies ,or the bloody hail of lead.
anyhow -no leaves left on the tree and no possums plus again an amused landlord.
ah those were the days eh!
WTF, on outdoors with Geoff a wee boy passed up shooting some deer to take out a Bull???
I'd shoot a bull over a deer if I had the chance
Never shot a bull before
Few hamburgers I guess.. Screw that though, Veni is much more tasty :cool:
I reckon a young kid would pick the biggest animal every time.Quote:
