Where the spikers' live...

Brian I had a big boys' sleep over last weekend and had a bit of fun.

300 yards was as close as we could get because of a difficult wind. I got a couple with the .243 and then Brian got one at 350 with his 30.06.

No need for too many words.

Where we lived.

243. What a useless option

Well done @Tahr.
Brian looks very pleased with himself.
Did you give him a bone?

Oh, sorry.
Just looked at the next photo.

The antler tree has got 7 heads in it. I will take a silkysaw out and grab you some if you can't get your own. :D

Keen to add to my pile, can never have too many, as I don't shoot a lot of spikers am keener on these.

Its a ordinary DPT over barrel with one baffle taken out. Doesn't make much difference to the sound.

Cool as, getting it done.

Put an extra baffle on it and it makes all the difference. My son got 3 with 3 on Friday night. The stag copped it in the neck the other 2 got the left eyeball blown away. All with the 223.A mean can the DPT.

Whoops...

The 6.5x55 muscled its way out of safe tonight and demanded to go hunting.
So I relented...

It would only let me get within 280 yards. and then insisted I take the shots...

That's one of its brother's back legs sticking out of my pack.

Out there doin' it... Lucky bugger. Good on ya for exercising all your guns fairly. My old 6.5 is still my favourite and nothing has gotten away from her yet (touch wood)
