Thread: NZFS ammo

I picked up one of those NZFS CAC 270 cases on the Urchin ridge about 20 or so years ago. I gave it to my mate Cooch who collects old stuff.

When I was meat hunting I sometimes picked up old CAC 303 cases in the Ruahines. It seems that hunters gravitate to the same lookouts and shooting spots.

There is a broadleaf tree by the lookout over the big slip up the Pari that over the years I have hammered several fired cases into after I have shot (or missed) deer. The last one was a .243 about 8 years ago - its pushed onto a little branch end.

Now I grovel around picking up every one of my fired cases to bring home to reload. Last week Wellington airport security picked up an empty case in my jacket pocket packed in my bag. They didn't seem to mind, but it was confiscated.



Memories, eh.
