Good story and photos! Full respect for taking your son out on a mission.

I've shot a lot of goats and several fallow with this load out to 200yd+. Dug a few bullets out of animals and found good expansion without jacket separation.
The projectiles have a smallish boat...

A post on Kelly Country's FB page says "no Falcon in stock for duck season due to not being able to manufacture any". Huh? wonder what they mean.

A .22 first for sure.

A bit later a .223 .243 or .308 depending on what you're hunting.

I started buying Sporting Shooter mags long before I was old enough to get my FA licence. Nick taught me a hell of a lot about guns ammo ballistics and hunting ethics.

Hot barrels sir.

"Cobra" was marketed by Kilwell Rotorua in the late 1980's onwards. It was re-branded Winchester Superspeed HV hollowpoint and was good stuff.

Winchester 94 in either 38-55 or 38-40 at H&F Richmond on the 20th December. Sorry I didn't take more notice of the details. Looked too tidy to be original; maybe a commemorative.

I have a couple of older scopes that look like this.

I assumed the lens coatings were breaking down with age and/or wear.

I think your results are okay, given it's the first ammo you tested.

Some of those Rossi's are very sensitive to the tension of the fore-end screw, experimenting with this might improve groups....

They shot okay in my Remington .22

Showed a very curved trajectory as you'd expect with such a heavy bullet

Not really sure what they're intended for, but I can't think of a better .22 round...

Awesome head, congrats to your mate!

Of the thousands I've shot in Golden Bay, the best only just brushed 30"

Most of the goats here are from stock brought in by gold miners in the late 1800's,...

I've been using Perfecta .308 150 gr SP for pest control. Bought 10 boxes from Kelly Country and got a good deal.

It is Fiocchi's "military grade" product so don't expect MoA accuracy; but out to...

Around Tauranga I think you'd need to know someone with a farm, orchard or forestry block and who will let you have a bomb-up in a back gully or forestry skid.

I lived there 30 years ago and even...

Looks okay to me.
Shoot it and be happy:)

It's not uncommon to find a slightly tarnished cartridge in a box of factory ammo, but that looks excessive and the primer appears to be different.
Can we see a pic of the grubby cartridge next to a...

Visiting Blenheim last week, I sold hand plucked fur at Wool Marketing Marlborough for $110/kg.

Going back a few years possum products used to be exempt from income tax to encourage hunters... I...

I get the surfcasting logo on my home laptop.

If we're changing stuff , what about about fixing the notification:

"Welcome rockland, be sure to check out the FAQ if you have any questions. ...

You can buy marker tape in any farm supply shop, all kinds of useful colours.

Around here DOC and Project Janszoon (Abel Tasman National Park management group) use pink triangles or tapes for...

Rifle is less than a year old, unreliable and is clearly a defective product. I would return it to the retailer and insist on a refund.

The Consumer Guarantees Act is in your favour.

Can't help with your specific issue but I had one and liked it. It ran great for a few thousand rounds but gradually became unreliable jamming and misfeeding.. Cleaning didn't help. I was told...

Winchester pumps are designed to self-open after a shot is fired.

With other brands, shooting off a rest without holding the pump fore-end, it might open from inertia.

If it's opening while...

So the shooter had walked for 2 hours and killed 9 animals, that's one every 13 minutes! Sounds like high numbers in that area.

I've taken some time off work over the last month and done a heap...

I have variable scopes in 1-4x, 2-7x, 3-9x and 3.5-10x

For bush hunting they are set on 3 or 3.5x

00 buckshot (.33 cal) stacks nicely in layers of 3 pellets, usually 9 or 12 pellets in a standard load.

000 is bigger (.36 cal) and I guess doesn't stack as well, usually 8 pellets in a standard...
