    I know which property you’re talking about. The Oliver’s own half the north king country but Owawenga Rd is the place you’re referring to. Yeah there’s still pretty good numbers of deer up there, the...

    Have you tried the hornady 30gr v-max? This appears to be the most consistent 22mag ammo available and shoots MOA in my marlin. I haven’t found them hugely explosive on small game (unusual for a v...

    I agree that we owe it to the animals that we hunt to not be under-gunned. We all want quick clean kills and using marginal calibers can reduce the chance of that outcome. But bringing dangerous game...

    Dago liked post by 7.62 On thread : 223 on deer
    +1. The 223 is pretty effective when used sensibly, especially on fallow. But as soon as you run into a big red hind or spiker that’s spent most of its life gorging itself on good farm tucker, and...

    I would agree with that. The Barnes developed a bit of a following amongst bush hunters using chopped and suppressed rifles. By using a light for caliber Barnes, you still got good velocity out of a...

    If you want to shoot a 30cal Barnes at high velocity there’s no need to buy a 300wsm, just load your 308 with a 110gr ttsx. I’ve not used them myself but they’re supposed to be devastating out to...

    Nice set up. I run something broadly similar, an 85 .243 with a 20in barrel and a dpt can. It’s not particularly light with the chunky sako rings and bases combo, and a heavyish scope. But really...
