    There is a steel gong at 500m in this pic, I took 3 shots at it and hit it twice which I think is not bad for a low experience shooter.

    HAHA I know this gong well.

    I was surprised last time i went (WAY to long ago) that the 243 shot flatter than the 3006. 243 were handloads and 3006 were factory but accurate enough.

    That gong I played with for a little bit but managed to hit it with the 22 8 out of 10 shots. Point of aim in the scope was a boulder half way up that hill haha. Gong wasn't even close to being in view. Its always good getting out to the range.

    I have a pretty good handload developed for the 223 atm which is why I just made 250 of em haha but can always hone then in a little bit. 243 I need to spend some time on. There was a time a while ago i could head shoot anything with that out to 300mtrs. But hasn't been accurate enough for a while now. The projectiles I had were unavailable for a long time so I went a different brand and just haven't spent the time on them yet.

    I started reloads for the 3006 too but again just lost track of that so don't even know what the reloads are i have. will have to pull them apart and start again.

    We need to do a shooting weekend together brother!
    I've just ordered a Lithgow 223 and am waiting on delivery for that... Very exciting!
    I haven't really considered hand loading yet but when we do catch up I'll rack ya brain about that a bit Matty.

    Ah, nevermind I scrolled back. .223. My go-to cartridge, but nothing here has much of a thick hide.
    Pretty capable round but and if you got a fast twist barrel you can push 60-80gn pills pretty hard.

    just noticed this thread by chance. Good to see others sharp shootersa here.
    Used to chase oinks around western downs with a WInchy 243 before moving down here. Had a 4.8 patrol paddock bomb with no windows and barrels pointing out of it.
    Shitload of fun. Heading back up later in the year.
    Will post some snaps up when I get a chance.
