Thread: Reloading conundrum - time constraint.

I thought I'd circle back around and thank everyone for their help.
Sorted a load very quickly with 0.5grn under max delivering about 0.75" of an inch at 100m. Good enough for a new barrel and I'll settle on this for a while before tinkering more.

The hunt was awesome. My partner and I were in the Ruahines for a week on the tops for the week of my birthday in early December.
We were in the clouds more often than not which constrained things a bit but I loved it. Got to relax with my partner and we got to go hunting when the weather and visibility allowed. Probably the best hunt I've had for a long time. All the alpine plants were flowering as well which was a treat for us who enjoy a bit of botany.

We both got a deer. I got a fat stag. Shot in the back of the head at 175m. It had laid down facing away from me and chewing it's cud so went for the base of the skull and it upon the shot laid it's head down without so much as a twitch.
Stag:

My partner shot a yearling at just on 200m with her .270win. basically a perfect chest shot for an animal quartering towards, through front side shoulder, through heart and lungs. No exit though which surprised me. Took two very wobbly steps and dropped on the spot.


Again, thanks.

Why dont you settle for a box of factory loads and enjoy your special hunt.
Plenty of time afterwards to experiment .
Iam off on one of those trips next month for my 60th
