    Hey team

    Hey Team Just moved to the Manawatu Joined up to the group to learn new things and also about the possibility of getting into reloading. I have hunted both south island and parts of the north island and am interested in chasing Samba, sika and rusa while I'm up here. have shot a few good reds and fallow down south.
    I am also looking into getting a 17 HMR or 22 Mag so if any ones got any pointers or pros/ cons please share them with me
    look forward to hearing from you guys and learning some new tips and tricks
    Cheers Will

    Welcome aboard.
    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

    Welcome! My thoughts on the 22 cal is a 223 can be used on DOC land whereas 22 Mag can't be. 223 keeps your options open. It's great for long-range rabbit sniping while being capable of deer.
