    Regardless you dont need a 150gr barnes in NZ 130 is more than enough.

    Once again no expert but i have found they like to jump-40-60 thou and they also like to go fast,both for accuracy and terminal performance.
    I have heard that they perform best at high speeds so I will try some heavier powder loads. I would go lighter except the person who taught me to reload said there is no such thing as a bullet that's too big. Probably explains why I sometimes hunt with a .338 Win Mag.
