    Another 6 goats this morning. These two were taken with the SKS at 5m. A couple of minutes later 4 more were taken at 50-70m. 3 by the old man on his Swede, and one by the SKS. Freezer full again.

    I thought so mate! I would love to shoot the 40 grain pills but it's a 9 twist so more likely it will love the 55's. I need to learn how to reload so I may give the 53 v max a whirl.

    Mid winter bonus.
    A neighbor rang on monday night to say there were too many deer eating his grass. Do you want some fallow meat ?( stupid question ) Then I got the conditions bring a gun thats not too loud but good for 100 yd shots. Can you shoot them in the head or neck I dont want any wounded ones running around or too much meat damage. I want 2 you can have the others but can you remove all the guts from the property. I was ok with that and went there tuesday night with the mod 70 Winchester bull barrel .222 and shot a doe between the eyes at 80 yds just before it got too dark . He was happy with that and told me he wasnt going to be home wednesday but I was welcome to have another crack and I did.

    All head shot just as the man wanted.
