It doesn't take long to shoot them, but it takes a long time to load them! I was picking eggs off at 100m with it today.

Can you reload the hornady training brass? Someone said you couldn't (and I'm not talking about the steel cased stuff) but I don't see why you couldn't.

No reason why not, unless it is berdan primed which I highly doubt. Hornady brass is meant to be good. Get some Lapua match brass.

I've loaded the Hornady training ammo brass, I've got a few hundred cases of it

Very nice! Thinking about one of those as an option for my next rifle too.

R93 offroad .223 with a Gunworks fitted true flight 1:9 sg 22" fluted barrel. TuiMan carbon sleeved supp.

I use SS109 Nato brass with 26 grns BMII and hornady 55gr sp. Chronied at 3260fps with a 15fps ES.


It is my favorite setup for spring and summer fringe hunting. Gets the odd varmit as well.:thumbsup:

This one had 2 mates with him on dusk last night that ran right up to 10 yards from me on the shot and milled around a bit. I was too slow with digging my camera out of my daybag.
Just went for a wee walk to set up a cam. I love dopey spikers. Makes for easy venny.

Get a couple of extra fingers and toes sewed on and you will be more than welcome.

Had my forum beanie, but left it in the truck. It would have made a better photo if Mr spiker was wearing it. Weather is abismal here at the moment. Last hunt/walk for yet another month.

Is there whitebait in those rivers?

Not this far up. It gets black and gutty buy the time it gets this far. But yes, the lower reaches do very well.

Damn, How far to travel? I like whitebaiting as much as hunting so I wanna live in a place close to both, Starting to think my town isn't that bad now

15 mins to good whitebaiting. Its the West Coast man, mountains are close to the sea.:D

Sounds good
