Heading to Fiordland after Red Deer for the roar next couple of weeks for the first time, pretty pumped.
Thinking about taking the 22-250 loaded with 50 Gr TTSX.
My hunting partner will have his 7x57 with 180 softs...
Enough Gun?

Iv never used a 22-250 they sound pretty cool but 50gr bullets in thick bush , pumped up stags id go bigger
Nowhere near - it's a varminting chambering for coyotes, foxes etc.
308 at a minimum I reckon.
If not larger.
Biggers better.. Gets windy down there. Blow those little peas all over the show...

Never know, might run into a few coyotes....
Maybe the 25-06 with 85gr nosler BT then
Sure would limit your options, head and neck only.... 308 or bigger, Put one through the boiler room much bigger target and less movement going on
If you have a bigger choice of caliber that you are comfortable with then take it. It's a long way to go to potentially stuff up a shot or lose and animal.
.17 Hornet
People keep telling me "plenty of animals shot with a 222 Vixen ...50gr sp"Quote:

Nosler 85 BT's are varmint bullets, Hornady interlock 117 BTSP, Berger 115 VLD and Nosler 115 Partions are a better choicesQuote:

25-06 will be fine if your a competent shooter but please use an appropriate projectile, you owe it to the animals

Nah I'll be using the mighty 264 win mag 140 sst @3050fps
I think Timmay is right , that 10/22 might be handy to keep the sandflies at bay if you are near the coast, that's if they don't wrestle it off you first :wtfsmilie:Quote:
