    You can get to enough hunting spots in the South Island to last you a lifetime or two without needing to use a diff lock. Just lock in some common sense about where you go and what the conditions are...

    Shamus_ liked post by 7mmsaum On thread : Are we seeing a shift to smaller calibres and lighter bullets?

    Nah, at 600 the vertical from that much velocity spread is about 200mm - way too much and at an indicated 65,000 psi we definitely want to know what is going on, ignore that at your peril!
