Thread: Richochet!!

I think the fact that 22lr subs don't have a heap of power behind them and that its easier to hear the whizz makes them so much worse. We had a heap of them from tree branches when shooting possums the other week. Sounds cool if not a little bit scary.

I have some 338 hornady 285gr hpbt projectiles if you want a handfull to try Rushy, when it finally arrives. Just PM if you want some freebees

Thanks Nibblet

Yep Ive had a 375 pill bounce of the ground about a foot in front of the gong and go fully sideways into the gong at 1800yards
Worst ricochet was with a 223 on hard ground missed the rabbit bullet bounced and hit one of me sheep about 300 yards away, scared the fark out of me.

Always the case with an audience. That one round ended up a bit pricey then. At least hoggart tasty

Anybody had any dodgy moments when dispatching a wounded animal at close range?

Sort of. Shot a beast on the farm but the mate had loaded the mag with whatever was lying around first shot was a sub bounced off luckily the cow just looked at me like wtf? Second shot was a normal round and dispatched it quickly

There was that dude in Helensville I think it was, homekill dude, shot the beast and it came back and shot his apprentice in the shoulder.
Think he ended up getting done for it.

The apprentice was lucky not to have died.

Brother in law was hunting with a mate, they were about 10 metres apart and as they approached a clearing mate shot a stag, stag dropped and mate rushed forward without reloading. Mate was watching where his feet were landing and did not see stag jump to it's feet so bil shot stag, at the gunshot mate spun to see what was happening and dropped to the ground. Bil thought he had stumbled but in fact bullet had entered pelvis of stag and turned on the bone and as mate had turned towards him at the sound of the gunshot bullet went through upper thigh and exited giving his cock a savage burn...not a happy chap.

One of our team shot a fukn expensive rabbit on way back from duckshooting with a 12guage steel cartridge. 30 metres away was a tractor in a shed the rabbit was dead and so was this

Christ DD how high was the tractor? I got my doubts about you
