Howa 6.5 creedmoor plenty of range and youtube will show you it's got some serious legs and is bringing down some big animals

Both Shooter Supplies (my preferred seller) and GC sell them in Christchurch and by the way they disappear out the doors ammo supplies should come right.

Otherwise a Lee 50th anniversary kit and you'll be into loading your own (you know you want to) when you start down the long range path you'll be looking to reloading anyway.

P.S. I'm travelling between CHC and DUD reasonably regularly so If you need I can drop something off on the way.

Cheers mate, thanks for the kind offer.
