    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.

    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.



    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.

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