I looked into making cast bullets for my 303 once, got turned off it by the local gunshop, mind you that bugger charged me $200 over the odds for my 223(hindsight is wonderful).

Great to have a hunters thread. Have always loved my shooting. Grew up with the old man taking me out after rabbits around Ballarat and Dundonnel, and then in the Stanthorpe areas, Texas (Qld) and the rest up in FNQ where there isn't much besides hogs. Although there are a few deer if you know where to go. I've got a lovely old Browning trombone (pump) .22, a .410 single shot, a beaut Sako .222, a Winchester Featherweight .243, a Browning BLR in .308, a Miroku 12g under/over a 1901 Lee Enfield 303 and another mint 1917 Lee Enfield 303 still in the grease-proof paper wrapping.
Hunting, Fishing and 4wdriving is a pretty good healthy combination I reckon, and the kids love it too.
I dont think you will need that 303 in paper.... I really think you should just hand it over to me as I will make sure it is looked after for many years to come !!!
Once you could pick a 303 up for not much money then when I got into shooting they were about the $250-$500 mark for a decent shooter and now with matching numbers phwark!!!!!!!
Mine was not much to look at but was bloody accurate but I made the mistake of buying a tonne of ex military ammo and did not know how corrosive it was.... I scrubbed and scrubbed and tried all the tricks but by this time the barrel was stuffed... such a shame as I loved my 303.
Irish has a very very nice custom 303 and when he falls off a cliff I will inherit it wont I Peter !!!
Let me think about that generous offer BA.....ummm, nup!
I'm also just about to pick up a nearly unused little USAF survival rifle. One of those breakdown 410/22lr combo guns. Not sure of the era yet, but it has the metal frame, no wood on it.
Should be great fun for the kids with that one!
so who know a good reciepe for duck?
Mmm duck my fav bird! Asian mushroom broth and roast duck. Or an orange or red plumb sauce and steamed veg
and best way to cook it when camping... Camp oven?
Have been thinking about pegging a couple of ducks on my next trip, but haven't mucked with them for many years. Normally can't be ducked trying to make something edible out of them.
Ok so I shoot it..what the prep....tell me have gun want to shoot but don't know how to go about it properly..we always get duck in plum, or pineapple sauce..i would try duck n plum..to start..anygood duck in campoven reciepies?
Not a huge fan of duck although my wife has found a recipe that is yummy and has sort of changed my mind.
Do share...
