Good. But you will have to teach it the difference between a Red and a Fallow. You were Fallow hunting.Quote:

EH8 may be a little heavier than the Glacier
All of those 3 make high quality match ammunition.
The big question is where can you get consistent supply of good quality mid range products in volumes that with a little stock piling allow for regular practice.

Yes that is my question. Noone in NZ seems to stock any of them even occasionally in small quantities any moreQuote:

Norma Tac seems to be the go to ammo for most shooters these days, comes in fairly regularly and not badly priced, shot pretty well for most people.
I think Belmont are still the official dealers of Lapua and SK, haven't seen any if that for years.
Hopefully someone else takes over distribution as the are completely useless.
Question for Gimp, what reticle are you using in the vx6,
I'm also using 6mm GT tried it at Sparrowhawk as well,got dusted in the wind ,was using my old 4.5 x14x50 MK4 with no zero stop.
Had a lot of fun,took my son,he also enjoyed it .
Would also love to do more ,same conundrum with time and finance.
I've not tried the GT on deer yet,wasn't sure it was up to the task.
