I can defiantly see why, hopelessly slow projectiles and inherently inaccurate

Defiantely not as good as a 223 with a fast twist Bimbo but I reckon you would be hard pressed to get me to change now.

Camel James270 has a 223 that has not seen any action since he got his 204R does that sound familiar

That one lying in the deadfall is a cracker mate. Looks like he has had a BIG night on the tiles. Perhaps he was doing lines with his other mate that you posted pics of earlier :shock:

Jeez Missed,
Leave some for the rest of us!
I can see why anybody would hate 20 cals
From the 4 legged furry critters that is.
Well done missed, you must have a plague where you are.
I've not seen many around here lately, might have to journey further north to have a crack at one.

Tepee James and I had to work for our tally last night with only 1 of the 14 claimed being one of this years pups.

and only 2 responding to the whistle :(

But we did see 5 on one sheep carcass so maybe a dead sheep call might be the go. :shock:

His name doesn`t mean Two Hump Lucky Dick does it Camel.

I cannot really talk Joel came over to shoot some rabbits one arvo and that was the first time my 222 had had a trip in a very long time.

Which reminds me Joel I bedded that rifle a couple of weeks ago so maybe you should come out for another session and we will see how it goes, :wink:

Could well be mate,

By the way, maybe you and James could spray yourselves down with Eau-de-sheep carcass, might bring the foxes in a bit closer so you don't have to gut shoot them. :lol: :lol:

Sounds good Andrew, I just have to sort out a load for the .222 ( yeah I know different projectiles again) with 40gn Nosler Varmegeddons, theyre a shitload cheaper than the BKs and if they shoot alright I'll stock up on em. Put a red dot on the .44 too.... wonder how it goes on foxes with 240gn JHPs????

Sorry mate but we are mere amateurs, we will
Leave the rolling in sheep guts to you professional types. :lol:

But I must ask, what do you spray on yourself to attract all those cats you have been shooting lately, eau-de-pussy? :wink:
