Thread: From Hawkes Bay

Hey Guys,

Names Adam from Hawke's Bay have been starting to get a bit more serious into hunting and looking into long range shooting and reloading. Currently have Howa 1500 stainless in 7mm Rem Mag for this at the moment.

Tend to go out alot for rabbits around a few orchards here we own with the .22 mag always keen to meet new people for a hunt.

There are a few Hawkes Bay guys here, welcome aboard

G'day Adam, welcome to the forum.

There's plenty of good buggers on here, many have helped me out over the last few years as i've got into hand loading and longer range shooting also.

G'day Adam

Welcome to the best Hunting and Shooting forum on the net.

There's a few HB Hunters here some of which participate in long range shooting.

Some of the guys also run shooting competitions for longer ranges.

I'm happy to help out with any reloading questions you may have, I've been reloading for over 30 years now and are still learning but could show you the basics if you want.

Cheers
Pete

Welcome

Welcome Adam. As stated there are good fellas on this forum to bounce things off. Even from your neck of the woods.😆
Ones I have met from up that way are good bastards unless you go bush with them.
They keep insisting that all sleeping bags are able to be zipped together and always wanna prove it😆

Any questions just ask.

Thanks Pete, have just been round at my mates looking at his setup and things. He has written out a list for me. I know sometimes it's cheaper buying a pack but he said alot of it you won't use and things you need extra so maybe worth buying things separately. So far i've got - Redding Big Boss Press / Redding Case Trimmer / Powder Thrower (not sure what one yet) / Electric Scales (not sure which ones yet) / Case lube pad / Primer pad / de-burring tools / Tumbler / Digital Calipers / Dilion or Redding Power trickler / Bullet trays / is there any suggestions on any of these?
