    I use a shotgun 99% of the time but if you do need to use something bigger it can be done but be fuckin careful I've used 223 and larger a few times but was bloody careful when where and how

    22's are bloody dangerous as a lot of guys don't realize just how far they go

    shotgun is the safest bird shot will only go anywhere between 300m-600m depending on the load used and falling birdshot although it is un comfortable it is not fatal to farm animals etc 22lr will go 3x that if fired on the right angle
