Thread: 25-06 why hasn't it achieved fame and success in New Zealand?

Settle down, it's Friday... beer o'clock in 4 hours.

This part of our debates always brings a wry smile. Simply fact is, you can shoot a red deer with a .300 Win Mag, put it slightly too far back, and the deer's gone like shit off a stick. I saw that happen last winter... cue tool blaming by the nut behind the butt. When the deer was found, it had a dirty great big hole about 7-8" too far back, upper rear lung shot. Doesn't take much with a bit of wind and angles not quite in your favour.

When deer I shoot don't drop immediately, it's usually cos I didn't put the pill in the right place.

There's bugger all separating most of the sporting rifles we use, at the end of the day. Shot placement is top trump, every time.

That's all.
