Thread: Rem Mag Killing Power

I have spent a lot of time shooting Sika on the tops , I cant for the life of me see why you would need to shoot 500m let alone further , it is relativly simple to stalk a Sika through all those gullies & when it has its head down feeding in the tussock , and you could use a lighter bullet going faster and go for neck shots then you dont have to worry about hydrostatic shock , and in all the time I have spent on those tops it is always windy . Believe me stalking is a great thrill and skill .

Understand but we are not on the tops and most of the deer we see are 400 plus and simply cant be stalked. For me there is a lot of satisfaction in a long shot that goes well. We only shoot in good conditions and I practice a lot.
