    Tx chrome, very generous offer

    At this stage I am leaning to leaving it at 22, it's useable in the bush and gives me some more mid and LR options.

    tx dale, did you try 2206H in the 7mm08 ?

    guess what I am asking is how much of a diff between h335 and 2206H ?

    I shot a stag in April at 330yards with a 14.5" .308, I wouldn't shoot it past 400 but inside that range its awesome

    Mate, did you recover the pill?

    if so, what did it look like?

    Have to admit that chopping mine to 18 inch and using 120gnrs made a nice fist sized hole in the neck of all the goats iv shot. Drops em on the spot factory loads too
