[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 760640, member: 17844"] I made the whole stock , the Picatinny scope rail and threaded and chambered the barrel also . It's all registered and legal . Bullet making is a bit difficult to start but after a few years it is no big deal . The big hassle is getting the jackets and finding fairly soft lead alloys . I had to teach myself from square one but if you have a teacher then it is much quicker to get proficient and start making good bullets . Nothing worse than doubting your gear it will ruin your concentration and form. I agree that going after shots on game you know you just can't make is a bad idea . Better to practise on paper and get your eye in first. I have sold a few packs of bullets to people at my range but they tell other people and then you have people hassling you all the time at the range. Supplies of jackets are to hard to replace now so I just make them for myself now . Doing it for profit would take the pleasure out of it . Goat shooting in OZ is a bit of a pain now as most of the farmers round them up and sell them for more money than a sheep ! So out on the flatter plains country it is very hard to find a place that allows you to shoot goats . Maybe they let you shoot a few and then you have to go after pigs , foxes etc for the remainder of your time which is ok if they are there . To get a place with permission to shoot as many as you want you have to find a place that is very rugged country that they don't round them up much. There are exceptions but they are hard to find. I am too old for mountain climbing . This is my best goat head taken back in 1987 I think but this photo is taken more recently. I had a bigger one but my pig dogs pulled it down and wrecked it . Last picture is how my stock looked when I started . [/QUOTE]
