Oompa – I once was 'volunteered' to do some trial shoots of a Barrett .50 Cal as the civvy engineers were not cleared/ game enough for the firing range but they were experimenting with muzzle brakes and stuff and needed a village idiot.

I slid back 2 foot on the groundsheet with every shot and they do make largish holes in surplus Land Rover Series IIa cylinder blocks at 800m. I'm now retired from that job, but a mate has just purchased a .338 Armalite which should take care of the rabbits (he's promised to let me have a try). Before he recently retired, this particular village idiot spent long holidays abroad in Afghanistan protecting all the village idiots back home.

If you are over here during the summer let me know. A friend of mine has an "Open Day" every year at a range he owns near Nottingham. We will be preparing loads for the 700 Nitro Express Double Rifle and the 2 Bore guns!

Personally I can't be having all this Magnumitis but they are fun to shoot once in a long while.

If anyone would be interested in this Open Day please contact me as you would be welcome to come along.
