    I'm just glad my licence doesn't expire until 2023. Hopefully they will have it sorted by then. Cheers Pete

    Definitely all good choices for the BLK. Add to that list 125sst's and 125 Speer TNT. The sst and nosler get the same results. The TNT are pretty frangible and great value for snotting varmints....

    Id be taking it back to whom ever I bought if from in that case as they are not safe to continue shooting in your Rifle. On a warmer day these 168gr rounds may fail in a catastrophic way causing...

    Currently has a 4-16 Vortex on the 243, so might flick that onto the 7mm RM. Then put the Pentax back on the 243 for hunting. Sounds like the Vortex was more than clear enough at the 585y target last...

    One thing I can is there is if using subs for hunting you really need to reload to get best performance and accuracy. Here in NZ we are limited to a couple of decent subsonic projectiles that work...

    Has some OK glass on the current rifle that could get swapped over. What sort of magnification should I throw on, with reasonable quality glass, to get out to 1km?
