Well new and old! Out about last night and I got this feller with the 308 EBR Rem 700.
Buddy got one too with his Sako in 22-250.
Earlier yesterday I had a good find at my local gun store, 200 old Speer mag tips in 308/150grns, £5 a box! $7-$8 me thinks. I wanted FMJ to do a sub load to take small game with but after these being the only option I loaded some of my stock of 170grn 30wcf bullets made by Speer with some H4227 and tried 5 rounds at 50 yds (think I'll save the mag tips!). Result, minute of rabbit head and 3" low so 22clicks up and should be good to go. This should get me out with the EBR a little more to help with the 30wcf itch I keep getting!
That was last nights activities so today after some chores I was out from 11am to dark at 7pm with my musketoon and harvested two pheasants for some good cookin'. Drizzle rain and little wind with the occasional gust. The smoke hung on the air just wonderfull me anxiously peering to see if I connected! To be honest the first bird I missed twice! I think the smoke put him in a trance! If the third had missed I think I would of tipped my hat to him!
Waiting in my natural blind that has given many oppurtunities over the years and near dark my second bird turned up.
I just have to be out there Joe, if nothing much doin' at work I start pacing up and down itchin' to get out. I come home empty handed mostly Joe, it don't matter though.
110grn Horn V-max at 3100+fps from 50grn H4895 out of a 20" tube. Distance was 50yds or so.
Your da mad Nath and havin lots of good clean fun.

Hey Nath,
Ever thought of doing what the government did and converting the musketoon into a Snider? That way you could reload with shot, ball or bullet in seconds. I have most of the bits if you wanted to give it a try.
Don't know what the firearms licencing people would make of it though.

That looks a cracker PO I could put that to good use
I don't have the skill for the conversion my self and a little bit of twist would be better too.
Did you notice the sling Did anyone spot the home made fixed rear sight?
