He did pretty well, took on the 270 and walloped @muckos gong at 170M and still went back for a few more rounds and avoided getting the dreaded scope eye

Thanks for pointing that out VC as it is one thing i did not notice so next time I will have to remind him about keeping one foot forward and one foot back to stabilise himself. Also he did actually shoot more than just the 270 yesterday he also went behind a 243 and a 6.5-06 so he did pretty well in the centerfire department.Quote:

Start him off with a sporterised 303 complete with brass butt plate and a stiff 180gr hand load and anything after that will be a breeze:thumbsup:
the 8mm has a brass plate it got @hunter308 on round three
feed him up to get more meat on his bones he will be sweet @hunter308 forgot have the P14 there as well and the mugica eibar s/s shotgun mmmm claybird smashingQuote:

Brass I thought it was a bloody steel buttplate, yup it got me a good one and I am not going to deny that because there are two witnesses that can easily call bullshit on me if I even try to deny it, however I will get back in the ring with that old bitch for round two :DQuote:

yup that about sums up my 270, @mucko has lovingly called it the howitzer because it is so bloody loud and that is only with a 51.5 grain charge of 2209 under a hornady 130gr interlock which is half a grain over minimum charge and is also the most accurate load for it would hate to hear what it sounds like running on charges of 2213scQuote:
