25 yards is a bit far for those south island boys Rushy

I have high standards to maintain Brads. The old man apparently didn't do too well at basic training before heading off WWII. Failed to hit the target door at 50y.

yards we can do. metre's are what fucks us up

Yards
How far's that

1 Yard= 1 wallaby hop ,just to make it simple for those SI boys ;-)

I'm using Norma URP. Over the 2 groups at this load (the lower group above is a different load) the velocity ES was 17 fps and SD was 7 fps, so I'm pretty happy with that as well.

In my rifle the load that you are using gave me 2,600fps (24" barrel)

i might be keen to attend..... however i think i will need to buy something suitably shooty.(and assume that i can get the time off).
what caliber is recommended.... best i can do at the mo is 12g with slugs or an untried .223 (ar15).

suggestions?

@Vod Ka’nockers

Calibre is not what the shoot is all about neither is hitting the targets. Just ask @gadgetman It’s a memorial for Toby.
A chance to get together or meet up for the first time.
Your 223 won’t be the only one there.
See you there

Absolutely! But hitting targets is good too, so they tell me.

I'm talking myself into this a little.
Not really worried about the shooting part (is it mandatory?), more so the catch up with some good buggers I've got to know over a puter screen
If one of my projects was ready, that might pop out for a look/shot, mind you it may look better in photos than in person so to speak so maybe not lol.
What's the go with camping costs etc? I spose that's further up the ladder somewhere? Entry fee needed if you don't shoot?

As of tonight flights are booked.
