Thread: What do you Say!!!

Initiaz, if you can put 5 shots into a 3 inch diameter circle at 100m you should be more than ok for deer.

No problems with 6.5x55 for deer.

What ammo are you using? Assuming you are buying and not reloading...

About distance, I would not worry too much about it, 90% of the deer you are going to find in the bush will be no further than 100 to 200m max, most probably a lot closer Practise to consistently being able to hit a target the size of the kill zone of your intended species at longer distances. For a deer I would go with a circle of about 15cm diameter.

Am using 139gr from hunting & fishing or sometimes from Petone gun shop.

Thanks for the heads up.. just feeling too excited for weekend to come now knowing its just monday today..

will do a solo over nighter this weekend. Deer o no deer is not a problem.. what will be fun is going out there and if luck creeps I should have my first deer certainly..

I have been trying to ask many of my mates (non hunters) to come along but seems non have any interest. I dont have a hunter mate as friend for now so will just go out myself instead of waiting to find 1..
