    Just stick to your plan. Get a 270. 95% of hunters in NZ are using suppresors now anyhow so the "oh but they kick hard" argument is a mute point, and most the people who say they'll kick the shit out of you got told that by their uncles cousins best mates neighbor Ricky and they let it get to their head when/if they ever did fire one, or they think you have to have a rifle with some badass acronym name and head to toe kuiu gear to shoot a deer
    Heaps of factory ammo, components etc, easy to reload for, you wont end up with no ammo or projectile availability in cycles like happens with the 6.5 and 7mm calibers in cycles over the past few years, shit tonnes of info out there on
    possible loads etc and they just work. Can load 110s and smack over goats or long range hares on the cheap or stoke up 150s or 145s and go chase bull tahr round the alps.
