    Dama dama liked post by John Duxbury On thread : 243 on deer
    I dont understand the .243 detractors. I have never found the boundaries of it. I can't see where I would shoot a deer with a .308 that would kill it when the .243 wouldn't. However, some factory...

    Dama dama liked post by grandpamac On thread : Ruger 10-22 Just Keeps Going
    Greetings All, I headed to the Range yesterday to do a bit of shooting on the Running Boar range at Taupo. Being somewhat disorganised I just grabbed my little Ruger. I had been using one of those...

    Alright lads, let’s get after this. I’m going to try and sun it all up, in what will be my last post in this thread. From what I’ve seen (as a generalisation) hunters in this country are average...

    Yeah I think you’ve summed up this thread well. I for one agree that a .223 is a legitimate hunting cartridge for medium game. However let’s not lead some less experienced hunters to believe it’s a...

    To the people that say they like to be overgunned. Let's assume your using highly fragmenting match type projectiles in your bigger options. As is clearly seen in any calibrated gel test these...

    Dama dama liked post by Tentman On thread : 243 on deer
    That's why I built a 6mm CM to replace a 6mm ARC, a fast twist and the boolits it enables are definitely an advantage over 400M or so . . . The 1:8 243 will be cool when there's some choice in...

    Yes the good old 243, it’s a great calibre , accurate, light recoil, cheaper to load for compared to magnums. When I was in the F.S and meat hunting after that the 243 was my main rifle, it did...

    Dama dama liked post by JesseYoung On thread : 243 on deer
    I loose shooting my little .243 single shot, it kills everything I point it at, and very easy to shoot. I was worried about using it during the past two roars but it did the damage, can’t complain....

    Dama dama liked post by 7mmsaum On thread : 243 on deer
    Approaching a likely looking spot I slow, inching forward on my stomach and pushing the 243 out front so it could have a look around, I could see, but only just Binos in hand I peered into the...

    If you haven’t previously used a 22 centrefire with 77TMK, 73, 80 or 88gr ELD-M, then take one of them hunting. Why? Well it’ll do the job, and you may just enjoy it.

    Dama dama liked post by Snoppernator On thread : A question for the doubters
    That's a great point Stocky. I'm not a fan of heavy recoil and prefer lighter calibres. Went for a 223 in the bush for that exact reason, where shot placement is critical. It's an enjoyable round...

    The same can be said of any catridge. People shooting big cartridges losing animals always seem to go straight to it was a bad shot but small cartridges they go straight to its the catridge. In all...

    Not that I need convinced (I'm already a 223 fan) But there's a 3 hour podcast, 2 parts at 1.5hours each. Then another hour Q&A that covers pretty much all of the merits of using a smaller...
