    Oh, well, it must have been jinxed! :)

    Yep, and shooting off a benchrest can make quite a difference to shooting from the shoulder, let alone the barrel harmonics of having a 12g barrel soldered underneath the rifle barrel! :p

    Too much gun!!

    Some folks would argue that you can never have too much gun.

    But last weekend I certainly was overgunned for the job.

    We were invited to have a go at feral goats about 500 kms (300 miles) north...

    Just thought I'd share some dumb things I did recently while loading a mild .308 load, and how these things can come back to bite you.

    I see no-one has replied to this; not surprised, really, as it's a "How long is a piece of string?" type question! :)
