Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

It's in the mold now.. should be ready to shoot in 36 hours. To bad I don't have a .177 BB gun to do the calibration test. I'll use this one to compare 17 grain polytips and 20 grain JHP 17hmr projectiles at 50 yards.

Oh yeah.. how's this for coincidence. Was at a mates parents property tonight watching TV and every few commercial breaks walking out the back hoping to shoot the bunnies that were eating the new garden plants, but no bunnies. There was crap on TV so we put on a DVD, Mad Max I. The scene where they are chasing the night rider was playing.. you know where they are on the radio and you hear MFP blokes calling eachother on the radio.

"Big Bopper to March hare.. come in March Hare.." 

Not long after i go for another quick walk around the yard with the 22 and torch and see something run into the grass and shoot at the eye shine. Walked over and picked it up and it was a young hare.. shot in the head during the month of March  Smiley

When i walk back in the house carrying the hare my mate, quick as a whip comes out with ," Jonny the boy, has done it again.. this time it's a scrubber"

This hare looked quite skinny and ratty. It was pretty funny, but I guess you had to be there.  Smiley

Well, the first run of making ballistic gel was a success  Smiley

If things go to plan should shooting it with a 17 grain Vmax tomorrow afternoon.

Hey BB

I like the ballistic chicken, have you tried one with the hummer to see the exit wounds at different ranges? I guess it would be an expensive exercise. May as well try it on bunnies.
