    Efficiently shooting good projectiles at moderate speeds with long barrel life, low running costs and low recoil, with good factory brass, ammunition and rifles available - what could be more sensible?

    Your answers!

    It is not a very common cartridge in NZ, that I have seen anyway. So I wonder if the importer will bring any in?

    Interesting reading, especially if you're a long range shooter, taking shots at animals 700 or 1,000 yards away. However, the .308 has all the attributes you mentioned for general NZ hunting. By general, I mean bush and the occasional shot anywhere up to 300m.

    6.5 Creedmore ??? Certainly worth a look, it surely ticks all the boxes.
    I would say Kimber have actually thought outside the box when offering up the boringly good/reliable .308 and the Creedmore. Both offer a lot.

    Further than 300, easily.

    Of course, but I don't think it's a good idea to encourage new hunters on here, that may be reading this, to start taking those longer shots until they have more experience, so I limited it to 300m.

    a few weeks back guys on here were talking about shooting deer at 1000-1200 easy. Like its the done thing- for every Tom, Dick and Harry.
    Not for this dick though.
