Thread: Your cartridge of choice.

for hunting for me its;

22
223
284 win x 2 (one set up for bush and one for open tops)
12g

(I have a heap of comp rifles that dont need listing lol)

I think that a talented shooter and smart handloader could use a fast twist .223 for everything, including longer range competition, varmints, pests and putting meat on the table. a long barrel life and cheap components helps this a heap.

However for me the 284 has been an incredible and forgiving all rounder for NZ larger game hunting. it has done it all for me anyway
