And every weeks 100 s if not thousands of deer get culled and are left to rot in the hills while we have struggling families trying have the ends meat.

Wiltshires are the way to go, far less work and they taste better too. I was going to put these rams on trademe but never got around to it. Never been shorn, never been drenched, organic certified....

The powder that gives the highest velocity in a long barrel will also give the highest velocity in a short barrel, so powder choice is the same as what you'd usually pick.
