An update on the above. Was up early yesterday and looking out the loo window, and as usual she’s on our lawn grazing. But this time I could see her nibbling away at something bright green. It’s was...

The Kimber 284 had a quick load development before Christmas and the Swarovski z5 turret was dialled in for the 140 Ballistic Tips. It was time to take the new lightweight rig for a decent walk and...

Decided it was time to teach the boy some old school tricks. None of this quartering, deboning, and lightening the load stuff. Time to get real and feel the pain me thinks 289291 289294

The other thing to consider aside from performance is .243 is a longer case. To fit a 108 pull in a 243 case makes things pretty long. It’s not a concern for tikka users but on a true short action...

My interpretation of Laurie's question is that he's more worried about getting tangled up in the anti establishment attitude which is taking over NZ. I wouldn't hunt there for that reason.
