Ya, they could jump up and take off a big chunk of an ear lobe! They wouldn't even have to jump that high to take off a nut sack.... That's why I'm with Ken on this one. Better take a real big gun when hunting rabbits..

And if Ingwe is going with you, please leave the leopard skin bikini out of the pics. We just don't need to see that kind of stuff here....

Be damned, projects, projects, projects. Not so much so with this one, it's about ready to rip right away, settled a debt with a buddy, he unloaded a really nice 243 FWT rifle on me, it's all there and came with an old leather sling, a set of Weaver bases, and two ancient yellow boxes of 100 gr Partitions, the bullets have a turned ring around them about mid bullet length. Called a buddy at the local fun store asking about a scope and rings, he had an older gloss 2-7x33 Leupold and a set of gloss weaver rings, perfect. Went by today and mounted scope and rings and boresighted it there at the shop, came home and dumped 43 grs of IMR-4350 under those old Partitions, 2988 and 2976 fps, GREAT!!!!!, loaded 5 more for accuracy testing tomorrow. What do you guys know about the pre-64 FWT 243's? I'm going to use these old bullets and rifle to take a deer or two right quick this year, can't imagine why the 100 gr Partitions at near 3K wouldn't do the trick. Gunner, that 243 will knock the hell out of deer... They work great on the mule deer around here.. Hell, my buddy even used his 22-250 on one this year.. UH, Yes it certainly did my friend, happy to report I killed the largest old barren white tail doe I've ever seen, 65 yards through a hole in the brush, center punched right shoulder, exited off side rib cage, DRT! I couldn't be more pleased hunting with that old FWT and enjoying the performance of the 243 W and 100 gr Nosler. Partition.
