Little Elly’s been out there doing the business again tonight…
Finally stopped raining and the fricken wind eventually died, thank goodness! Went out for a cull and got 32 rabbits and a possum. I’ve never considered my self to be a “long distance” shooter, it wasn’t that long ago that 30m was my comfort zone for head shots, but I dropped a rabbit with a good head shot at 74yards tonight. I’m well chuffed with that! |

Ja definatly on high power 👍🏻 with an 8.44gr exact doing 813fps, that’s 12.3fpe at muzzel.
Would be interesting to know what the speed and fpe is at 70m. I was consistently hitting a 10cm spinner in strong gusting wind yesterday afternoon at 70m, so with a bit more practise and on a calm windless night I’d feel confident to try a shot. I’m also trying really hard to find some 10gr slugs, but NO ONE in NZ has any. And all the overseas shops I’ve emailed say they won’t courier to NZ. So frustrating. |

There is a guy down south that makes slugs. Spyda. Have you tried him? He may not doo .177 though.
That S510 certainly delivering the goods for you. |

I have been in contact with Brian from Spyda, and he is very kindly going to make me up some .177 slugs.
The lightest he can make is 12.4gr (I think) But I’m very keen to give them a try 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I was back out IN THE WIND again tonight. So fricken frustrating. 30 pellets for 17 rabbits, and would have had more if the wind wasn’t pumping and the moon wasn’t full. But hey, I only got rained on once, so that was a bonus 😂😂😂 |
