    My oath -theres nowt more comforting than the boom of my no4 Mk1 1943 Canadian Longbranch .303 aka(the 18"naval gun).animals playing wicket keeper to her spin bowling have always had published obituaries the following day .I once had a packet of those 180gn round nose slugs-holy shit sherlock they do damage whatever they hit big time!
    once lacking a chainsaw i did mange to dislodge a particulary obstropulous buck jacko from a pine tree with the naval gun.
    unfortunately he was deceased due to my attempted neurosurgery with my wee russian toz 17 .22which resulted in a massive vacancy where his grey matter once resided-so he didnt feel the impact from a 15"fall.bugger all left from neck up too!
    latterly ive also got a 7.62x39 B/A in the safe and from what ive read its data with the 125gn slug is broadly similar to my .303.It too is a hard hitter in the right hands.
