Thread: Who's Taking their 9.3 Mauser For the Roar?

Will report back the results, I once waited for 20 odd minutes to get three goats lined up at about 40m, and the bullet (286 Lapua) went through all three and displaced a respectable divot, the goats all got wobbly and fell over within a few metres. This would most likely be unethical to some. but saved on projectiles and provided a conclusion to a scientific experiment about the properties of the projectile.

rumour has it...back in bad old days they lined up prisoners and did same with .45/70 !!!!!! goats are minor sin by comparison...best I did was two headshot with single 30/30 round while leaning on top of dog kennel....close dog tucker doesnt come easier than that.
