What shooting stuff did you do on the weekend?

[juststarting]

Closest thing I did to anything gun related this weekend is bought some replacement moisture absorption thingies.

Spotlighting foxes friday night. Did some bunny shooting saturday and whistled in a bonus fox. Today detailed a new batch of handloads for the 204 out to 250 meters and tested a new load for the 222. rest of the evening cleaning rifles. It was a good weekend.

I made myself a universal decapping die



She ain't purrty but it does the job

Spent Saturday afternoon at St Mary's emptying the rounds I had loaded the previous weekend. Actually managed to get a 1/2" 5 shot group on the .308 using a EoTech sight with 3x magnifier. Heading north Friday week to chase pigs so 1 moa is plenty good enough for the grunters

[Redwood]

Wish there was a centre fire range around here, that was open at night.

A few more around the place would be nice, it's a long drive to Little River for a lot of us.

My Dillon 223 carbide dies turned up Monday so this weekend was spent lubing and running 1500 cases through it. They were then wet tumbled in stainless pins and put through the dryer. Time permitting through the week I'll get onto actually loading them but that will probably have to wait till the week after this. Saturday was prep and clean 200 Cheytac cases ready for loading, all tumbled, dried and annealed on the Vertex so they look all pretty now. Cleaned up another 50 416 Barrett cases along with a pile of 300 Wby Mag though all I actually got round to reloading was the 300 Wby Mag as it's going pig shooting with me this coming weekend up north With the wife and boy out all weekend and in 2 full days I knocked over a pile of brass though I'm thinking it's a magic pile cause it never seems to shrink.

Carbine Trophy, 10 rounds in 2 lots of 5, standing unsupported at 100m, 60 seconds. Used my "new" 1888 Commission Carbine and repro clips. The clips hung up and wouldn't allow the riser to lift cartridges properly so I had to fiddle around a bit. Lots of cursing. Cap and ball revolver after that, posted best score in 12 months so came home happy in the end. Hope next week to have a Ruger 77 MkII VT in 243 to play with, so look forward to that.

Went out for the first time with the sako had a bit of fun. Dad out shot me lol hed never shot and layed down a few clover leaves at 100 yards so i was happy.

[TheDude]

Was out at ripley too on Saturday. Had my new Sako 375 H&H out. Will be taking it back today though. It's got a few splits in the wood I'm not too happy about. Missed them when I gave it a once over in the shop,

Sorted bullets then went fishing.

I'll get in early for this coming weekend, butt crack of dawn this Friday I'm heading north pig shooting with my Queensland acquaintance and his son. The acquaintance's dad and brother are taking a break from bending bananas to join us. I'm a bit nervous having 4 armed Queenslanders with me being the only New South Welshman, the first Banjo or toothless grin I see I'm outta there Visions of "Deliverance" flashing before my eyes as I type....

[sandgroperbill]

and we were just getting to know you

[sandgroperbill]

dibs on your cheytac and sako .22-250!

[Noisydad]

Got it to group like this at 80 yards off cross sticks.

Did more fine tuning of my 1863 Remington .58 muzzle loader. I've resized my .580 Grn bullets up from .575 to .580 and it's made a difference as the bore is .582.

Went plinking with bentaz, sick bastard shoots savage looking slugs from his bolt action hand cannon like it's nothing.

Spent a solid 3 days up bush just north of Tamworth out on 4000 acres of prime pig territory. I managed to ghost a few foxes, some bunnies and a mass of giant bunnies, the other 3 in the group also took foxes, bunnies and a few pigs. Hunted morning, late afternoon then spotlighted after dark mainly chasing pigs but despite seeing some big buggers the ones taken were quite small. I was very surprised by the number of foxes we saw, at least 25 over the 3 nights and the ones we shot looked to be well fed and very healthy. Had a great time and when I recover some energy I'll start planning the next trip to the same property. I even snagged an invite from my mates dad to go pig shooting up Queensland out near Mackey which should be fun.

Not the sharpest tools in the shed

Cheeky bastards

[Seconds]

250 shells in a slab but only 150 clays in a box, someone needs to market a party pack with equal amounts.

Maybe they don't put much stock in your abilities so give you extra

[No1Mk3]

Half way mark, go to arms fair, pay for US M1917, then buy Wild Tiger 303 and Imperial German IS M/71 bayonet. Find one piece scope mount for Omark. Tomorrow, range.

[juststarting]

Starting to develop a 7.62x54R round for plinking. Since I don't really like shooting corrosive ammo, pulled bunch of bullets from my 7.62x54R surplus stash for use in new rounds - about 100 all up, 150gr pills (just under, been weighing them). Once I get the round developed, planning to pull a lot more from lose rounds I have. Of course keeping a few packets in original condition! And spam can is a nice to have too.

[juststarting]

Bentaz, may! Perhaps that could mean that I need a .22 that you all rant and rave about :p

[juststarting]

What was I thinking...

[AZZA'S HJ47]

Hope to be plaing the 7.62 x 54r card soon but also tied to a 303 so ill probably just have to get both. Where you manage to find the surplus ammo i havent seen any of it then again i havent really looked

[Gwion]

Loaded some 223rem. Shot them at 200 and 300 yard to confirm our course of fire for an ANZAC Day shoot. Had a long chat with the club Capt about going forward with extending club activities beyond TR & F-class.

[Bark]

Starting to develop a 7.62x54R round for plinking.

None of this sissy 22lr plinking lol

[juststarting]

I don't own a .22

[gunnerjacky]

I don't do anything related to shooting. Because my work is to give people firearms safety training and I get exhausted pulling the trigger for 6 days. On Sundays, I prefer spending time with my family, watching movies, eating wafers and having any soft-drink.

[David Brown]

About 450 rounds on Sunday with SWMBO at the range

[TheDude]

Took my snider and 375 H&h out to Ripley range Sunday morning. For some reason my magnetospeed Chrony doesn't like the Hornady DGX projectiles as I couldn't get a reading to work up my loads. Worked fine on the federal factory stuff just not my loads.

Vic CSD State Rifle Titles, post-47 sniper-pitiful, std military 3p-below average, tactical rifle-best not mentioned, 500m std military rifle-avg, Martini Cadet-forgot to bring ammo, 22 Trainer-avg. Shot over 3 days, drank some very good wine, had a lot of laughs, great to camp in the countryside again. Always next year. Cheers
