How long your batts last - do you know yet

If the 416 makes it out (which means I'm on the coast and made it out too), 350 gr Barnes x point circa 1998 somewhere between 2000-2100 fps.( f/forming loads for the 375H+H cases to 416)

My peltors done two days at toby shoot

Also .308, 178gr ELD-X sitting on quite a warm load of AR2208. This year I will be tackling them from further away than normal after knee surgery a few months ago. So have spent a fair few hours practicing with the new hand loads and getting the Tikka and scope into tiptop shape. I watched the big boys for a few hours last week and they are not quite there yet. Warming up but still some time before they kick off.

Was thinking they do better than that.
I only used mine maybe 4 hours thus far

If you don't hit the Stag - you should clear fell a few trees !!

They are still going

Sorry - misundi stoodi - again

The Stand shooters (notice how I said shooters not hunters) use them in "driven Boar hunts"
They reckon they can hear a Boar up to 1000m coming in - seems a bit far to me
Not great around flowing water or Sea - I find

With the volumn - should you have it high or down as low s you canbut still hear - hope you understand what I meaning

Sorry i was unclear in my post they were still going. I have never hunted with them myself. I was at a farm shooting gongs a week back and could hear birds like they were on my head. I took them off and couldnt hear them at all. They were about 100 off in some pine trees. My thoughts on hunting would be you wouldnt know what direction the sound came from

That's where your own natural senses kick in

Mmmm - may have a point there
Mine (like others I imagine) take noice in front - so I hope you will get some directional control
Could have a point Gibo
If they on here for 100$ late April - you know the result

Sorry for sidetracking - as you were

Mutt Muffs i shit you not, they are a "thing"

And I will be taking the first rifle I grab out of the safe, assuming I actually get hunting soon. Could really do with a break from work
