   2pm and Im out of here for a hunt. Its a bit windy, and the antlers are hard. Ranges will be out to 300 yards - last one there was 220. My brain says take the 270wsm - and it was packed. But then...

   I only use the 20 gn ammo. I find them very accurate and reliable through my Ruger American. Havent had any trouble on possums or hares. Hares have been a good 4-5kg.

   Another 222 oldie from the roar. Both shot roaring at under 30 yards. https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/e44/Cottrill/.highres/00740017.jpg...

   It got darker as I got older. Then in my 50's went completely white. The white seemed to coincide with my lads being teenagers. :)

   Exactly. My few rifles cover the complete range but I feel the most comfortable and "at peace" hunting with a .223 (could well be a .222). Mainly because it brings it all together - a need to be...

    What sort of cover is on the property? If its only scrubby stuff and not too much heavy Bush may be worth a couple hours chopper time to get an initial decent kill on them. As much as it seems like a...
