Not really, for my money...and my style of hunting (and I stress HUNTING not target shooting at 500 yards) the .243 is hard to walk past, cheap to run, flat trajectory, good out to 300 metres on...

I came out of the closet a while ago, it hurts at first but they do accept you after a while. Owning a .308 and .270 is just accepted as being Bi-polar*

I’m in the same camp as a lot of these guys. A good Siltarp, groundsheet and map will do most situations, depending where you’re hunting. I mostly hunt the lower half of the North Island and use a DD...

I have a Smiths equivalent from Ashburton. I had it in the Kaimanawas for 4 days in constant rain and it was excellent. Fire etc works a treat. I opted to support NZ made.

If your requirement is a maximum 350m shot, then you need at a minimum, about 2300fps at the muzzle with a 140ELD. This will give sufficient retained velocity for bullet function at 350m. You...
