Glade to see that someone found a good use of those damn nasty gulls!

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

For those of you that can't understand Icelandic, I will translate.

Poldip is loading Blue Dot in his 6.5 X 68 and putting in way too much if you ask me.......but let the video tell.

Prohor says lets go shoot some seagulls. Poldip says OK but we have to go buy some beer. After drinking all the beer they shoot Poldips 6.5 at a post and Prohor says you can't shoot worth a shit. Poldip says it is the Blue Dot loads, not his fault.

Prohor and Poldip can't get to the coast so they get Ossi involved as he has a big tired truck. Ossi says, "look at all the beer in my fridge and the hooch above, lets drink that first, and dine on some fresh seagull." After a two day drunk they finally get to the shooting.

Prohor shoots many seagulls up to 471 meters, and Poldip can't hit shit. Ossi takes a few with his 222 Imp, just to rub it in to Poldip.

At the end, Prohor looks as though he misses two on a cliff, but he actually bet Poldip that he could put a bullet in between the two of them without hurting either one, once again proving with out a doubt that you should never use Lee reloading dies.

That just reminded me of the time a buddy of mine and I were in ND and we were looking over some area for prairie dogs. We were glassing an area and a sea gull landed on a berm about 300 yards from us. I was driving and could only watch what happened next.

Eric grabbed his 223 and as he leveled it on the gull, said, "I always wondered what it would be like to blow one of these up".

When he shot it was like someone blew up a big feather pillow. We have both laughed about that for many years.

Right or wrong, it was worth it.

yeah, I will have to say, I've seen a 223 do a lot more explosiveness on a seagull or three, than what is happening in the video...

of course I can give up my sources....

and those crazy Icelanders are using Blue Dot!!!!

Hot Core isn't going to like that one bit...
