About LinkBacksWoohoo! The 45-70 finally got to draw it's first blood after a year of shooting cans and targets.
Bullets are Lee TL452-230TCs paper patched up to .457, made from old leadhead nails and 14gn Trailboss.
All the shagging about is not very practical but quite satisfying when it comes together.

Excellent
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

Left them where they fell as next to no meat on this batch. Hare was only a skinny young thing. This bunny was just a little more photogenic!

Last night I took a South African fella and a mate of mine out for a last minute deer stalk. Boys had been away on a 3 day mission, only seeing a couple of deer, so called me on their way home to see if I could take them on a evening hunt. They arrived at home about 7-ish, straight in the truck and to a spot of mine and after stalking a couple of deer for about half an hour Mr S.A shot his first deer, and I fluked a long shot on a spiker with my 223. Then we went for a quick lighting session and shot about 15-20 hares with the 223 in less than an hour. Really really windy and warm which had all the hares out feeding, and they held well in the light too. Mr S.A was stoked. Bugger could shoot too!

I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

Woohoo! Got out for the first spring rabbit hunt for the year. There has been a major explosion in numbers too. Unfortunately the rabbits seem to have been congregating when a suicide bomber rabbit wandered in and detonated as after six hours of driving and quadding around I ended up on a total of six rabbits with a similar number seen but not able to get into shooting range.
The bike went well, heaps of grunt, brilliant engine breaking on the steep down hills. Time to do the manual fan switch mod though as I didn't notice the fan spin at any stage. Did manage to get it stuck in some deep mud at one point but managed to extract it myself. Might put a box on the bike with the fence wire strainer with some rope.

Went for a small walk this morning managed to zip two rosellas with one shot, decided to give the wounded one a love tap on the noggin. Bastard ended up breaking my stock, bit of no more nails and the ghetto blaster will be back to its former glory.
