From England. (Dead varmints).

Post by Nath »

Well guy's it's been hot over here, to hot for this one and activities have slowed down.
Before you all start banging on about how your place is hotter and I need to man up, I don't care!

Anyway, ever heard of S&B, Sellior and Bellot. Their 22mag ammo is potent. A good round with a good honest 40 grn cup and core bullet.
This and other fox hate the things!

Yep, thems my PJs, it was late and I should of been in bed!

I recently got my double back after unsuccessfully trying to sell it via a dealer. It's .729 bores were over choked so I reamed them out some, seems better!

I also treated myself to a cheap airgun and after some fettling it works quite well.

That's it from here, for now.

Anything over 75 degrees is too warm for my taste!

.22 Magnum does a good job on most varmints. Those are both good foxes now.

Ah that's a shame.
I've been lucky the 3 times my Winnie was bred, puppies everytime. Never had a still born but I did have 1 pup with a bad heart... think it's tough to loose an old dog? Try a week old pup!
However momma KNEW that pup was not right! Amazing what animals sense, feel, comprehend that we ' evolved ' bipeds don't!!

Keep the pictures coming Nath.

They used to say only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, I'm with you Nath, I prefer the shade..... :wink:
I was tempted by another .22 magnum yesterday a single shot Ithaca mod 49, my dealer got it for free years ago because it hadn't been proofed in the UK but now it is.
I did shoot it when he first got it and it seemed ok.

Nate.....my favorite photographer. :D You can see Nate's facial demeanor changes according to what varmints he makes "bite the dust". The foxes are the best and .....that first one is a biggie.....Nate looks mild mannered with the rabbit......

Yea Nate, Sellior and Bellot is well known here...at least down at Targetmaster.....I know one guy, who is married to a DuPont, buys their shotgun ammo by the pallet.----6

.22 mag is good coyote medicine from a single six at reasonable ranges. From a rifle you can stretch the range nicely.
