    @planenutz Were you hunting in public land, or private blocks in Arrow town or Queenstown area? I checked Mackenzie area in late 2019, where DOC allow small games with .22 and shotgun, but hardly see any rabbits.
    Always In pursuit of my happiness...No matter the costs.

    For the properties i mainly shoot on, i want a very frangible (explody) projectile, i dont want any pass-throughs, i want it to explode when i hits anything, makes if much safer, whether i hit or miss. This bullet will literally blow up on a blade of grass. I use 20gr Vmax, but i believe the 25 gr bullets are a little bit tougher for slightly larger small game.
