Re: De-leading a range
Were the rabbits using .17 HMR by any chance? That would explain the major disruption to the sand perhaps....

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: De-leading a range
Dont advertise the de-leading too much, just in case the light fingered brigade get there first. It happened at our Gallery range recently and an estimate 1 1/2 -2 tons of lead was stolen!
The range is right next to a footpath that runs down to a well used nature reserve so loads of passing twitchers/dog walkers but nobody saw a thing
