    Ingrid 51 liked post by rockland On thread : .223 projectile weight experience
    Heavier .223 bullets in a suitable fast twist barrel retain energy better at longer ranges, and for this reason I'd say the Hornady 60 gr. would be fine for what you want to do. I'm using factory...

    Got-ya liked post by rockland On thread : Pig hunting without dogs in Waikato
    I don't find pigs especially hard to kill for their size and have shot plenty with .223 and .25/06, but believe the .308 is the best of calibres you've listed and it's what I normally carry. When...

    Strummer liked post by rockland On thread : Tree bark peeled off question
    I don't believe old poss is doing that, more likely deer. Recently saw a young pine looking just like that pic, it was fallow deer. Whiteywood in the same area was really bark-stripped and broken,...

    00 buckshot is good out to 25-30 m. depending on the choke of your gun. I like to pin up a sheet of cardboard at 30 m. and fire one shot at it, to see the spread of pellets. Avoid number 3 or...
