Significant lot-to-lot inconsistencies are a problem when loading mixed lotsQuote:

I also joined the Howa club. Quite unreal how accurate these things are out of the box. Chucked a vh3hd on top, ran some factory 64gr fed blue box through it and she's good to go. I do handload for my 308 and will do for this beauty at some stage too but for now these seem accurate enough.
Vx3hd I meant sorry. Anyone tried these federal 64gr on deer?I believe they're Speer projectiles?
Speer =awesomeness
High country stag taken with a 80gr eld-m at 366m shot off walking sticks as scub was too high to shoot prone.

Looking down into the wound cavity - through the spine/ribs and into the engine box. Dropped on the spot.

High shoulder shot. 77grn TMK ...

My mate shot 2 reds at 390m. Bang flop with 65gr Sierra GMK which I loaded using 24gr BM2. Intriguing how the heavier pills[ above 65gr] perform so well out of the same case.Quote:

On the hill before daybreak, 387yd shot right in the middle of the chest with a 73gr ELDM it took two steps and fell over, back at the truck by 8am, happy to have my young 21 year old brother in law for the heavy lifting.

Whanau lifting. Awesomeness.
Man..you really should get a length of seatbelt or transport strop,then use Alex Gale carry strap method. In open country it is much easier on your body and no blood down ya bum crack is a big bonus.
"Alex Gale carry strap method."
What is that?
Thread a long strap through all 4 legs and buckle at the front https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b6818f90fc.jpg

Try it.the tipping over backwards thing is actually less of issue as weight is lower,you still can lean forward but not as much need as weight is across shoulder tops.big bonus is if you tip over forwards you can get out from under animal easier.
Ive never worried about how other people carry my deer :)
Definitely....any help is hugely appreciated.i do see photos of young folk under huge loads and my back cringes,oh how I wish I knew the easier ways that I do now,when I was younger.
yes thats what sons are forQuote:

Still a bit unsure. Do two of the legs go under the arm pit to the chest?
So you have 2 legs in front of your each shoulder and 2 behind.Quote:

That's what I imagined. Looks a smart way to do it.Quote:

There is actual video footage of Dave Saxton of venison era fame carrying ...2 large gutted red stags at once. Dave Ratcliffe says Saxton was a monster when it came to carrying.Quote:
