    How much does it cost you for a .243 round, could work out expensive if you are shooting several hundred. Nice shooting at those distances though, I used to shoot over at Banockburn 30 years ago with a 22 magnum and a shotgun and I would clean up around 600 in a day. We used to cut the tails off as proof and have a competition with each other to see who could shoot the most in a day. I have another hot spot over central way that I can blow away a couple of hundred in a day and I can't wait for my holidays in another 5 weeks so I can head back there. The weather should be warmer by then as well. Keep up the good work rossi.45

    never worked out the cost of loading any ammo . . . best not to know, just keep buying new stock as it goes down . . . the .243 is never going to be high volume shooting, the barrel could be toast in a couple of months if i shot it like my .223s

    know the area Banockburn but never shot on it . . . use to shoot Northburn which isnt to far away, my first taste of Central Otage Rabiit shooting.

    look forward to seeing lots of pics on this thread of your Central holiday . . . good luck

    Thought he must've been shot and dumped there because it was only 10 mins away from home, and have never seen them this far down. But when I kicked it off the road, I'm pretty sure it had been hit because just about every bone in his body was broken.
    Be able to shoot them out my window next

    Bloody hell Oraki, what do you feed those rats down your way? Ha ha ha ha
    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
