    Great stuff. I’ve seen my old man use my 243 at way out past 500m dropping a massive hind over Taumaranui ways. I was behind him telling him not to shoot as it would have been me who had to run up and across there to finish her off. I was amazed and I’ve never forgotten that shot; a 12 year old thinking fark my old man is amazing .
    Not bad for a Sierra 90 grain jammed in behind the only powder I could get in 1986 in Te Kuiti - no scales either
    That Parkerhale Safari 243 took me a heap of Hares, pigs, goats and deer. I’ve always thought the 6mm and 6.5mm pills are great killers possibly because of their excellent penetration?
    Ok I’m obviously bored, back to work people...
