    Ouch! I bet that dog never went back there again.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    A bit grim but we were testing the 22-250 to see what the different loads would do on head shots.

    The Decapitated one is the 45 gr jhp Winchester
    The Empty face is 55 gr V-Max Hornady both shot at 100 yds.

    That is certainly significant damage.

    Haha.... Nice work Dougie! Did I see you in NZ Hunter per chance?

    Those 45 gr pills took care of business at 250 as well... Wasn't lacking any punch with as it knocked a big nanny over with a shoulder shot.

    One passed clean through a young kid and wasn't fatal even though it hit below the eye and exited through the bottom of the jaw but the next shot hit the top of the head and was all over.

    Had a zombie goat once take 3 or 4 headshots from a 22mag and just stand there bleating. Turned out I had grabbed ammo out of the wrong box, it was shooting an inch to the right and punching straight through without hitting the brain. Learnt my lesson...

    Nice work on the goats there SlimySquirrel.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    went for a spotlight last night, shot only one cat on the whole property

    I only found it due the excruciating sound the female cat(of which I shot the big ol tom who was mounting her) was making while they were partaking in Intercourse

    It sounded like a pig squealing from a distance, man Id hate to be a female cat with the barbed penises cats have
