Am heading to North (and South) Lords blocks on Stewart Island in a couple weeks. Have done big Kuri last few years. Anyone been to either Lords block and keen to trade some tips on likely spots?...

Thanks for the suggestions. Main reason I asked is its a 5 min trip to mitre10 and a 30min trip to nearest shooting supply shop, so if something from m10 does the job then great. Cheers!

Sweet cheers team 👍

Anyone got any home made recipes or use any products other than gin shop products for case sizing lubricant?
CRC lanocote, inox lanolin spray (lanox) etc be a go or are these no good? What is...

Yea, think I cooked the number there... picked up 100 for $180 today with another 100 on hold, so back to plan A it is!

Hi gonetropo, what recipe are you using with the 140gn nosler partitions, and what MV are you achieving?
Seem to only be able to find 150gn noslers?
Seems the berger 168gr VLD's I am after are...

Federal will be mixing powders to get a 'secret recipe' I would imagine-
Yea going to just work up load to same (or very similar but maybe slightly higher) velocity as you say.

Cheers for the help everyone!

I'm trying to replicate (roughly) the Federal hybrid hunter factory ammo, as it seems to shoot well in my rifle, but can't get any in the country at the moment!
What sort of range are you getting...

Cheers Stug.
Barrel is 24" custom carbon with stealth over-barrel suppressor.
Maybe worth starting at 68gr and working up?

Hi guys- long time....

Anyone got any load data for 7mm Rem Mag w/ 168 Berger VLD's?
Ultimately wanting to achieve approx 2900-3000fps at the muzzle but not sure where to start with powder types...

Thanks for the feedback. Think I might just bite the bullet and purchase the garmin maps. Makes the gps investment an expensive one but (hopefully) a long term one!

Thanks HJ. How do these compare detail-wise with the Garmin full topo map set? $40as opposed to $230 is pretty attractive!

Right, so I finally splashed out and bought a 66i. It has the topoactive maps on it (which are shite) and I have been hearing that I may be able to get NZ topo 50 maps loaded instead of the $220 full...

What sort of loads are members running? Wanting to work up a reliable load for 24” barrel and pushing 168 gn berger. Any ideas on powders to use etc?

I bought the Tatonka hinterland 70+10 for $300 the other week and tested it on a 3 day tent mission. Easily got 3 days back countries, tent, thermarest, fart sack, change of clothes, jetboil etc etc...

Looking at thermal spotters and see 3 brands readily available in NZ- Pulsar, Pard and Guide. Does anyone have any experience with Pard or Guide that can share what they know? Obvious choice is the...

Hi Bob

Been a few years... actually been nearly 6 years... but anyway I have crawled back out of the woodwork! :thumbsup:
Nothing much has changed, but it's good to be back!

And if the Snow doesn't get you, the wind does :XD: Was gusty last weekend 3 days in the tent!

Looks and sounds like it was a great trip, was intending to head up but been off the radar for a while.... be keen on the next one!
