Was talking to a bloke the other day. And he was telling me how many he is loading up to bring on the next trip :shock:.So I thought I should get ready myself.Dragged my arse out to the shed today and loaded some. :roll:

Looks like you will be chasing me for some more ammo cases and load trays. :lol:
Found a few more swift cases in the last clean up. Remind me to give them to you next time you drop in.

Yeah after that lot I was feeling very proud of myself when Mrs Missed tells me I should have been doing the yard :roll:.Knackers the rabbits are really breeding up and this year I have my sniping spots picked out.A nice little block I went to this arvo has rabbits all over it and the cocky is worrying about the spring numbers.
Tikka the case prep was spread out over a number of evenings.
Sean think I should be right for boxes for a bit.I do want to give the 40 grn V-Maxs a run in the 222 those Taipans aren`t opening up :( They punched straight through on cuddlies from 100 to 200 metres :shock:

The idea is to smear them before they become zombies James.The Native rifle would be getting cobwebs wouldn`t it mate.

Dangaff if all goes to plan i hope to be back at the bench around the start of November.

So I don`t believe the first part :lol:

And I hope Kerriet gets to have a shot this time not just hang around a blazing fire with a bunch of drunks :wink:

Think I will leave the Taliban to the pro`s but with the size of some of these warrens you would be excused for thinking Osama was hiding in there
