    I've got the 62gr Maker T-Rex which work out at $89.90 NZD/50. They kill stuff extremely well too.

    Have to weight sort cnc machined projectiles?
    I am also running some makers (30 cal subsonic) but have only shot one animal so far and neck shot so can't really comment on terminal performance or accuracy other than it's good enough to neck shoot @101y
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.

    Significant lot-to-lot inconsistencies are a problem when loading mixed lots

    I also joined the Howa club. Quite unreal how accurate these things are out of the box. Chucked a vh3hd on top, ran some factory 64gr fed blue box through it and she's good to go. I do handload for my 308 and will do for this beauty at some stage too but for now these seem accurate enough.

    High country stag taken with a 80gr eld-m at 366m shot off walking sticks as scub was too high to shoot prone.

    My mate shot 2 reds at 390m. Bang flop with 65gr Sierra GMK which I loaded using 24gr BM2. Intriguing how the heavier pills[ above 65gr] perform so well out of the same case.

    Entry base of neck. It was quartering towards me. Down hill.

    Looking down into the wound cavity - through the spine/ribs and into the engine box. Dropped on the spot.
