Yup, pretty devastating bullet. Turns crows into a feather cloud.
Hey what part of Oz are you in? I have a cousin turned Aussie living in Mildura.
Just loaded a few VGs with ARBM2 (Benchmark) and AR2219 (RE-10X) to start development. Will try them tomorrow. Looking forward to some feather clouds
Your cousin would be about 700km from me, kinda Northeast from here. I'm near Port Lincoln - well known for Tuna and Great Whites. Very nice part of the world.
Thanks for sharing. Nice pic. Gota love that lil Ruger 204!!

Life is an adventure and often to short. Make the most with family and friends. Shoot often and shoot a small hole. Love the 204 Ruger!! NRA Life Member

Had I known you were going to try them so soon, I'd have mentioned this; Try to hit in the breast where the feathers are least dense. Believe it or not, those wing feathers are capable of deflecting a low angle shot. It's like hitting a hard object and getting a splash shot.
Ok on the location. Sounds like a nice place to stay out of the water!

I won't be using them on crows just yet - gotta sort out an accurate load 1st. My brother's coming out to check his 22-250 loads before he uses them on a stag, so I'll get on the bench between his shots.
I love the water, but I definitely feel better about working ON a big boat and not in the water. My little bro works as a diver around the tuna farms, and he's had some pretty wild stories this season. I'll stay on deck - outta the big fishes home ground advantage.
