    Gidday everyone

    Hi everyone

    I'm Peter from Westport, currently studying at Lincoln University.

    Reasonably new to hunting, mates have got me into it over the last year and a half or so and I've loved it.

    Currently have two Tikka T3 rifles in .223 and .300 WSM. Getting into a bit of reloading which has been really interesting, hoping to get some good results. Keen on getting out and shooting deer, chamois and tahr, have had varying success so far.

    Cheers!

    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

    Hi, (though I've still never introduced myself!!) looks like you've got most game covered with those two calibers, tip for reloading; if you've found a great factory round, try to duplicate it with as near-as-possible components, even if its jumping large distances to the lands.. My .222 reloads were rubbish until I copied PPU and its shorter OAL

    Cheers for the advice! Fingers crossed I can get it shooting well with the load the previous owner gave me.
