    G’day

    G’day team, I have spent plenty of time browsing so thought I better chuck a quick intro up. Based in Darfield, Canterbury and have been hunting the high country for a few years now. Started chasing wallabies after getting my FAL and then deer and chamois around on stations that I worked on. Pretty keen to get into reloading and start tinkering with bullet loads for some longer range shooting, there seems to be plenty of great bits of advice on here which is awesome!

    Welcome aboard

    It’s no problem to help you with reloading info tips and tricks

    What rifle and chambering/caliber are you interested in using for long range harvesting of animals

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks, I have settled on a Remington Model 700 in 7mm08 as a good all-rounder, pretty keen on getting it set up with a decent scope and then looking at different loads. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about getting 162gr eld-x or m’s going in theirs and thought that sounded like an interesting pairing.
