    Bullet construction - what to you use for deer?

    This is a question that potentially has a lot different answers, and I’ve come up with 11 categories which is probably too many. But it would be interesting to know what fellas are using, specifically for shooting the 7 deer species in New Zealand, i.e. not varminting.

    The “other” category is for the wildcards, the highly dedicated weirdos who spend days in their subterranean caves casting lead bullets for when Armeggeddon finally pitches up, or those that rove the bush with a 9mm pistol and rubber bullets.

    Sorry fellas for the misfire at first, never done a poll before. Like, read the FAQ!
