hot and sunny here with too much NE bree2e to chase spanish macs off Mooloolaba - I suppose that bree2e is good news as I am not out there fishin' :-)
Back from my adventure to Western Qld. Scenery spectacular and some different country West of Thargomindah.
Sadly the pigs were too good for me, very flighty and nocturnal only. A mate did pull off humane one shotters with his .458 on of all things, a hare, a feral cat, and the only pig for the trip - a young boar just over a meter long but barely visible tusks. He said he had the .458 loaded with his varmint loads, 350gr round soft points. Pulled off a head shot on the hare, so he must have his eye in.
Had the opportunity to fire the .458 and the other mate's .470 Nitro double. The .458 obviously had a lot more mu22le flip and a bit more recoil than my little 6.5., but I avoided a 'weatherby eyebrow'.
The .470 was a different experience - noticeably more recoil. And due to not paying attention to instructions, got a little nick on my finger from the front trigger when firing the second barrel. I think I may have said a rude word! :-) you can keep the 600 NE nowoolies :-)
Sounds like a ripper trip Silver any pics??????
yes, haven't been through them yet, nor those taken by fellow travellers. May have a bit of a review and edit mine tonight. Scenery only, noting this is the Patrol forum and not a shooting forum :-)
evening all
will have to wait for the mates to send them up, as they are on their cameras - scenery only on mine.
And I don't know about putting them on here anyway - people have strong feelings both ways on the issue.
Evening.........
