Thread: What's your pet Sika load?

I would recommend the Sako .222 softpoint 50 gr factory load. This combination has a history and a track record that prove its effectiveness.

Out of a sako vixen that the New Zealand Forest Service supplied at cost... $66... per unit.... they were deadly against sika.

Many thousands fell to this combination wielded by the cullers in the Kaweka Kaimanawa blocks.

When it comes to putting a bullet through the head of a sika at 50 metres looking at you over the top of a Mingimini bush ready to jump, nothing is quicker at getting that accurate shot away from the shoulder except maybe the 12g with buckshot.

I have used buckshot on sika but you end up shooting at movement and one day you will end up rolling up some armed tramper or another hunter.
