Very wet, very windy, very cold, and bloody awesome
I saw 5.9C once on my windspeed meter, but mostly it varied between 6.2C and 6.7C. The meter doesn't measure windchill but it must've been near freezing with the wind gusting from 13mph up to 21mph.

Love being in the bush!
Only 1600m in, dropping 220m, but 160m of the drop is in the last 550m. We did a lap of the 500m fence from both directions so the entire length got inspected by both of us. All good, so we should be putting seedlings in there very soon now.

Just fire-formed some brass in my three .303's and chronographed them. Surprisingly my No4Mk1* Longbranch makes 150fps more than both my No1Mk3* Lithgows with the exact same ammo.

Is there much difference in chamber or throat?

I thought you weren't allowed to hunt on public land in SA nowadays?

Worst thing is I get in the gym with a plan to just take it easy, work on flexibility, joint longevity and some cosmetic gains.....until the first girl half my age comes in or some young buck starts lifting weights in front of the mirror then its like Im back in 1992 with walkman in fanny pack piling weights onto the bench press. I could even hear Bryan Adams songs playing in my ears.
Will be bloody sore sad middle aged man tomorrow.
