A few recent snaps

[sterling]

Hi all, I've just been deleting evidence freeing up some memory on the camera and found a few pics which might be of marginal interest to folks around here.

 

Well I'd been disputing with a mate whether a .22LR would shoot through a sheet of 7mm aluminium I had lying around, so in the interests of science and winning a bet, we headed off to shoot some stuff...

 

 

 

So from 50m, a subsonic .22 stuck in the sheet and left a dimple on the back, the supersonic .22 very nearly pushed right through and finally, the .243 just kept on trucking (no surprises there).

 

Next up is our valiant attempt at a 2.5L turbo pigeon hide. The pigeons and rabbits responded well to our efforts, dog walkers and the general public on the other hand...

 

 

Last, but not least is the beautiful sunset that I was treated to while roost shooting last night. Saw more bats than pigeons but a nice evening to be alive nonetheless.

Shows the power of a .22 I've spoke to a lad earlier in the week who,s just applied for his fac and was saying to how a .22 rim fire is similar power to an fac air rifle, i,'ll show him that pic

Yes it's the most under-estimated round in existence. 200ftlb is nothing to sneeze at and is in another league from most fac air rifles! Pyramyd Air .50 calibre air rifles are available now though if the lad can write a convincing variation application.
