My 17 Hornet knows how to sting. This one was only 100 yards away. I am guessing because I forgot my range finder.

Sorry they are so hazy. My cellphone executed an amazing swan dive into a pan of antifreeze a week ago. It is only by the grace of God it is working at all.

No exit wound, just a bulge of jelly just not as big as when the 204 hits them. I want to try my 22H with the 35gr Vmax. Maybe tonight.

Well lets see, I have a couple HMR guns, a HM2 gun, 22 & 17 hornets a couple 22 mags and various other implements. Nope, no need to reload the way I am not shooting this year.

Yep I know. Last year I was working 60hrs / week and I still made time to get out there and blast them on a couple local farms. This year I lost my job and oddly enough I am so darned busy it was 2 months in between the 1st two I shot and this one. Then there is the crazy stupid rain we have been having. Today as I was driving back from St Marys I was looking at all the chucks out grazing and I am to tired and I think I have come down with step throat. *smirk*
