    Red face Newbie to forum

    Hi! I'm new to this forum. Moved to Melbourne from Auckland over 3 years ago and missing my hunting and hunting buddies!

    Found it surprising and interesting how Aussies don't seem to appreciate both the 25-06 and the 6.5 Swede as they are both really good rounds. Both were my fav calibre on my hunts in the North Island. Thus far I have only beeI'm n shooting at the club range and have not done any hunting in Australia yet. All of my weapons shoot well, within 1 and 1.5 inches at 100 yards but the Steyr seems to be the best, loves the Geco 55 gn fmj achieving under 3/4" easily. I do not roll my own so have been shooting only factory ammo.

    Hoping to do some hunting soon!

    Currently owns :

    A-Bolt Hunter 30-06, A-Bolt .243, X-Bolt White Gold Medallion .308, Steyr Pro Hunter .223, Sauer 101 6.5-55 and T3 25-06

    Welcome
    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
