Some very special people around aren't there

Yup. Used to hunt with a bloke that believed his 7mmRM, factory ammo and a 100 yrd zero shot flat to 500.
Said he has shot heaps of deer that way out to 500.
First time I went out with him he gut shot a spiker at 100 yrds after I talked him out of taking a 350 yrd shot off a tree. 😆 Should have left him to it as it would have saved me and my dog the extra work.

I had the misfortune to work with a guy who previously was"training the police how to shoot their glocks" and his 243 shot 200gr cast lead projectiles at 5000 fps

I near fell off the scaffold I was laughing that hard.

Maybe that might explain why some of them are "accuracy challenged" when it comes to their shooting (having witnessed it personally)

I call bullshit. 4000 fps maybe😆

Makes it even funnier when they say they have a chronograph.

It makes sense now why a platoons worth of riot cops couldn't hit that crazy rottweiler in Manukau a few years back... taught by Wyatt Earp himself haha

He must have borrowed a chrony from Dundee
It matches his rangefinder

Totally do-able!! Give it a few inches of hold over and she'll be right.......................

I had a 6.5 fatso. One for Gregs 338 wildcats. Only really got it for the action but did shot it a few times. If I remember 142smks about 3400fps.

hahaha Nothing on "New Guy" and his 1 fireing per case 7mm08 longrange slayer

cant remember the details but Brads can fill in the blanks

And I heard that Dundee was six foot six and had just scored a modelling contract with a major Parisian suit maker.

Remind me of a guy saying he was shooting deer at 500 or 600 m with his 300 win mag. I asked him what brand of range finder he was using. He said he did not need one, he was good enough at guessing the distance....
