Takes 10 hours from when we leave until we get into port melbourne (depending on sea conditions, Bass Strait is known to be some of the roughest waters in the world.
Its 429 km distance or about 268 miles

I have loaded a couple of extra specials one for the mice  ;)
300gr jhp with 42.5gr of AR2207 should develop about 2100 fps, roughly 3000 foot pounds force. If that dont stop the things advancement I am high tailing some where safe to live like a bear den, lion pit or a cobra enclosure!

Gonna try em out tomorrow, when I find someone victim willing to try em. I have a person in mind already  ;D If I think of it I will video tape his misfortune experience.  ;D

I'm very pleased to see some of you fellow gun "blokes" down under, have maintained, although I'm sure heavily regulated, the "secrets" to create a big bore round.

Thankfully, that has not been taken from you, and I hope you can always keep it.

Where's Quigley?

  ;D

I would think a 45-70, would be a fine addition to a big bore shoot. Easy to reload, and create another "kaboom" for the range.

Quigley used a 45-110 I believe.
