    I got the Nz hunter mag just for this article but was disappointed to see it was basically RL26 loads. Hopefully the next bush pig articles cater to us peasants.

    Shooting 162-168s at 2850 with and ADI powder would convince me to go this route if I can get away with a stumpy barrel but I kinda want confirmation that this can be pushed down as far as 18”.
