Mainly just shooting deer, red,fallow,sika. Currently using sierra sportsmaster JHP or PMC JHP

Hi
Im after projectiles for my 44 magnum, 240gr.
Ideally cast lead hollowpoints, otherwise jacketed hollowpoints
200 or so

Put one of your rifles, if you have a 223 in a chassis with a telescopic stock. that way she can use it on the short setting and you can use it on the longer setting

How minis have a plastic type...

Im using the 52gr targex and the 55gr hornady 2266 (boat tail soft point with cannelure)

For the hornady i use G1BC .235
For the targex i use G1BC .220

Has anyone extensively tested these...

hey mate

You need airflow, and a little bit of warmth.

Easiest way to achieve this is a fan of sort and a lightbulb. and any crate/box you have that's suitable size maybe 800x400x400 or so. if...

Hey fellas

Im looking at buying a house that has a fairly sturdy carport about 3mx6m i geuss about 2.8m high
Looking at the composite stuff at bunnings ill be spending about $$5k on cladding the...

yeah its all good mate, people are used to seeing hunters in NZ. just don't be silly and have it pointing at people etc. and have it unloaded
its socially acceptable and legal

308 would be replaced by a 6.5CM or 6mmCM even if it wasnt for the fact that i shoot subs and also have the ability to load 308 for very cheap due to bulk purchases im still well under $1 a round and...

.22 - Meant for bunnies and practice but hardly use them
22-250AI - Pest control on farms mostly goats and rabbits/hares odd deer
308 - Main hunting rifle to 600 yards
44 mag - bush hunting

good one mate, are you selling them? i got 2 of these Stac scopes, might have to look into these at some point

Anyone use GRT? Is it very complicated?
I looked at the old quickload at some point and put it in the too hard basket as i usually buy bulk projectiles so don't have to fiddle with loads very often...

just saw you using factory ammo only, in that case id go one of the PRC's if you want to step up. not much ammo available for them but at least what you do find is usually set up for long range
...

Mate, id just get a decent scope and load sorted for the 270 if not already and use the rest for ammo. i comfortably push my 270 to 800 yards on deer using 150 Berger's but the ranges you mention you...

if just bush hunting, buy the cheapest softpoints you can find, load a middle of the road load that shoots OK and go hunting.
I dont even do load development for bush hunting ammo anymore, i just...

thats pretty normal mate, even the 165 softpoint interlock in my 308 does exactly the same even on large fallow. interlock is the same bullet as SST less the plastic tip

I get 7.89 moa for 400 yards with a 100 yards zero, assuming you have a 9.5 twist i get a stability of 1.45 which is propably OK but they dont reccomend going under 1.5

Personally ive gone to 1.3...

1st of all, is your scope tracking accurately? And is it properly levelled
2nd is your BC right (yes if you are using litz BC with same twist barrel)
3rd, is your velocity correct? If using an...

Hi all, i have been sold a 500 box of 155.5s via PM. So no longer looking (unless they very cheap offcourse)

Cheers for the feedback all, i guess we chasing deer then. or im driving to Napier which is not a bad idea anyway seeing as i have time

Yeah mate, ask him whats they gonna cost please

Also comparable to the berger VLD i used to use in my 270

Yeah thats pretty much my idea is to switch to Targex as ive done for the 22-250AI (long range loads). Was thinking to try hos 175. Unless i can find something cheaper in the back of someones...

To me they perform on game exactly the same as the ELDM, AMAX which is to enter the chest cavity and break to pieces. Of fallow you get pass through most of the time on small ones, but not on bucks....

A 500 box at a sharp price would be ideal

Hey fellas

Im down to my last 100 odd of the bulk boxes of HBC Optimus bullets i bought before covid (they were like $250 per 500 box).

So im on the hunt for something simmilar, ideally if...
