    Fed blue box 150gr always served me well. Belmont 130gr HP always seems to shoot extremely well but it is a light frangible projectile.

    tikka liked post by Tahr On thread : 223 on deer

    tikka liked post by Nick-D On thread : Stags & Bucks 2022
    Just out from 5 nights in the Bush. Few stags going still but not well enough to get onto them that way. All animals were shot on the stalk, seemed to be quite a few decent animals around this...

    I did end up going for a quick cheeky Catlins hunt and look at this wall hanger! Wow big trophy boy! Sarcasm aside, I did take the head home, going to hang him on the wall and mark him as my first...
