A sad loss to shooting. Someone prepared to put the hours of research in to build a better bullet.

I didn't find the lead free CCI noisier than an HMR or a high velocity 22LR as far as scaring rabbits, I did find they didn't like my Finnfire barrel much. The tin pellets I tried in my 12 ft lbs PCP Daystate air rifle have shot very well, and I have shot a dozen or so rats with it since . The...

Mistake

Is that the outback version of ABS?

As others have advised when you posted questions in other threads…..jumping into a thread on another forum with an entirely topic is not the best way to have your problem discussed. In your case go to the SD homepage scroll down the list of forums to “Ammunition Reloading and Ballistics” and...

The one I have just received from Kennedy is 3/4 the wall thickness of the Tool station one I had from 2017. But it is flexible rather than flimsy. It is polyethylene so will not crack.

Well that certainly resolves the muzzle up, muzzle down, DG carry dilemma!

I used to use a similar Stanley Fat Max tool bag...but by the time it had the bead filled range bags, some height adjusting blocks, fan, MagnetoSpeed a couple of tools and few boxes of Ammo, bolt and moderator, it weighed a tonne and even with a shoulder strap you started off the session lop...

Totally low tech and with no "Tactical" credibility whatsoever....my mother in laws old wheeled flight case is incredibly practical. You just have to thick skinned enough to take the inevitable amazingly witty wise cracks like "You off on your hols then?"

I replied to this thread when it came up a few years ago, but another thought has occurred to me since it was resurrected. Presumably the OP's mate's neighbours also have the same rat problem and would be glad of his help shooting a few....I am sure their tolerance levels to any noise would be...
