Thread: What Have You Loaded Today

Got rained off the rabbiting on Tuesday night so drove home to Wellington and got stuck into some reloading. It was stilling gale force and pissing down this morning so carried on. Finished with about 150 Hornet cartridges and 50 triple two. I'm happy with that because the tide had gone wright out! Back on the Golf Course next Monday (New Moon 🌚 on Sunday) for some long range snipping with the triple two during daylight hours (daylight scope), Hornet with thermal for long range night shoot and a couple of 22LR,one scoped, one thermal. I think I've got my ducks in a row!



Hornet, three different types of projectile all in front of 9.8grn ADI AR2205:
- HORNADY #2233 HORNET 45Grn SP BC .212 (from memory)
- Sierra #1210 Hornet 45grn SP BC .191 (?)
- Some thing I couldn't identify, but might be Speer 45grn SP

222 Load 18.6grn ADI AR 2207 with HORNADY #2266 55grn SP BT CANN. At 18.5grn this has proven to be a laser beam accurate load taking rabbits out to 240m, deer at 75 - 90, and goats, but not much over 100 - 120m.

Shot 32 rabbits tonight in horizontal rain with 22LR Winchester 40grn HV Weihrauch equipped with thermal. Wierrd night, one minute it's howling and pissing, next minute it's still and clear, I saw one of the meteors coming in, then back to howling, pissing and pitch BLACK! The poor old rabbits never heard, smelt or saw me coming! They didn't stand a chance!
