Shoot it. It's of no use to you if you don't shoot it. I wouldn't even worry about the headspace until you have been given a reason too, especially since you know the rifle came straight from the...

I've shot ALOT of Sika with 55 gr Sierras! The 63 gr Sierra also works wonders and even shot 4-5 sika with 55 gr v-max where the chest cavity was mush!

Ah yes @Sako (https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/member.php?u=880) 851... the .243 and me are best buddies. Go make yourself a cuppa and sit back... Reading the above, @Sarvo...

I had a few butterfly steaks last night, which tasted pretty good, and I have a crockpot full ticking away on the kitchen table.

Congratulations Max. You are now a man. Don't worry about the bullet. Its easy to over analyse on one example and wild animals are unpredictable by definition. I once shot a hare with a .308...

The way I see it.... If you don't want it to run take out the front shoulder/leg I guess that's in line with tahr saying hit bone. Better to loose a front leg than a whole deer. This is the problem...

Just another shot at lobbing it back over the net. I should've used a :D at the end of the sentence. That's the thing with conversations online. It's hard to judge intentions at times, as there's...
