    Nice looking stag, well done. Never wouldve thought the Arawhata would be good rabbit country.

    Beautiful stag JP, never thought I’d see the word “ELD-X” in one of your posts.

    I am only using them because they are the only thing you could buy at the time, and a friend recommended them. So saying I am a big 95 grain ballistic tip fan in the .243 which is still pretty progressive right? So you see I dont load round noses or black powder in everything...(Thats very nearly a lie, I mostly do.)
