About AMac
Biography:
Currently living in Auckland as this is where my work has taken me, but my heart resides in Pelorus Sound! So fortunate that mum and dad built a Bach there in 1972 which my wife and I now own and our extended family all enjoy. Boat only access means mine is in a shed in Havelock so have taken up Yak fishing up here with moderate success so far. Not an enormously experienced hunter, 8 times to Stewart Island, a bit in southern alps and Marlborough - Lived in Wellington for 12 years and did well in the Rimutaka's an Ruahines. Getting out much from Auckland not quite as easy. Enjoy reloading and heading to the range as always meet good guys to have a yarn with.
Location:
Auckland
Interests:
Hunting, Boat and Kayak Fishing, Scuba Diving, cooking - Running to keep old legs fit.
Occupation:
GM of a Property Development and Modular Construction Company.

    All barrels shoot different speeds. Hopefully as the cartridge gains traction other companies with enter the market with better quality ammo. For the reloader the 7mm saum does the same thing with...

    My rem mag is doing 2939fps with 180 eldms so it’s pretty much a wash I guess. Hopefully the 7prc factory stuff will sharpen up over time

    Greetings again 30.06king, Nice test. The closeness of the velocities between the two primers indicates that pressures are close as well. I was interested in your choice of 4 shot groups. A long...

    Took my neighbour, Mike out for a fish yesterday. We had a good day on the snapper, but it was topped off by a good trevally for him. Even better, being a bit old school, he doesn't eat them, so...
