The flip side is that they are nice to shoot, very accurate and low recoil. That said so is my 308.

I dont own one but saying stuff like that is so stupid. If its taking more than one shot with pretty much any of the 308 based cases inside 300 yards in NZ you are picking the wrong projectile, dont know where to aim, or suck at shooting. The only other option is the odd shot were things dont go to plan (which happens but shouldn't every shot). A 140 class 6.5 projectile is plenty for anything in NZ if you know your limits.
