There is nothing more primal to modern man, than a fire. Nothing ! In fact 1/3rd of the 8 billion people on this planet today, still cook over an open fire

I love a campfire after a big day in the bush it seems to chill you out and get the stories flowing before you crash out. One night sitting around the fire talking to my 3 hunting mates a Sika hind...

Mate this is a thread on how cool and effective the 223 is. Go and start another thread if you wish to start something around why people shoot x amount of deer.

Hunting to me is about the environment I'm in. I love to roam with only a pack & rifle, in our bushlands and Mountain Ranges, keeping alive the old school "man alone' protocols and etiquettes. The...

If going with a .243 then I wouldn’t pass up on using 95 gr targex projectiles, after all their made right here in NZ, have great accuracy and are efficient killers.

Shoot one and find out for yourself, simple really. Hornady 55SP work for me from 2800 to a shade under 2300fps. 72 deer down in last year so they work for me.

.243 will be perfect. I use one as my night culling rifle. Went with .243 as I have far less chance of losing sight picture when I shoot. Mine is 18.5" and mostly use 105gr targex and reloder 26....

With the 1:8 the Hornady ELD in 108gr or 103gr could be on the table as well. I use the 108gr ELD-M's in mine. Z

Tikka 243 as you described would be mint!

A mild loaded 6.5CM with light 120gr ELD-M projectiles with a suppressor should be quite tame to shoot and it'd be hard to tell apart from a 100grn .243 I would have thought.
