Pretty much ignores me. No change there
Nah, she understands the tone.

Everyone taking their pee shooters out for the roar?or are the big guns coming out the cupboard ?

A .223 is the most powerful rifle I own, so yup it'll be going out with me during the roar.
I could borrow more powerful rifles, my brother in law has a very nice Tikka 7/08 that's never left the safe but I trust and enjoy using my .223

Last evening. Hind, size Large. 200 Yards. 80 grn Targex. Straight down.



Here's the hole out the ribs and through the off shoulder (shoulder peeled back). Bits of bullet were just under the shoulder skin.

80 ELDM

220m just behind shoulder exited big red hind


200m through spine (misjudged the range and held for 250m - small yearling red), euthanized with head shot


320m red stag, through shoulder bullet smashed opposite rib cage but didn't exit

Nice @gimp I must have just missed you, warden said you popped down to use the phone reception

77TMK 223 clearly bounced of the red stag but he was kind enough to let my brother pose next to him for a picture.

Did you have the bottom block? We popped out for a forecast on Sat, came home today. How'd you go?

150m headshot in the torch light just after dark. My daughter was disappointed that her shot hit 20mm left of dead center between the eyes
We'd targeted a buck that was croaking earlier, called him in to 30m but her glasses had fogged after slogging up the hill. This yearling was a consolation.

75gr eld-m @2920fps mv, shattered the skull but no exit. Squishy soft head.



@nzspearo she loves that pikau.
