Thread: Bullet Choice on Hares

Number 3's were always a good size back in the days of the North Canterbury NZDA high country hare drives. The branch would sell a trailer full of hares and get good money, about 2/6d each from memory. I often just used my Kea pistol which I reamed to a 3" chamber, used 4's and always bettered the drive average. Good times spoiled by Police and politicians!

I can't help myself, I somehow picture you looking like a buccaneer taking aim with your kea pistol at a running hare! Eye patch and scarf around your head?
