    Yea Na Gidday!

    Hi, my names Cole, NZ born and raised, great country we live in! Thought I’d sign up to this forum after have a quick squizz thru, there’s seems to be a wealth of info on here that I look forward to burning a few hours reading thru some of it.

    Always been into hunting and shooting in general. Most recent purchase was a 300wsm so want to get into reloading for that and also my other calibres so that’s a learning curve I look forward to! Just collecting reloading gear as money allows at this stage, I’m sure I’ll find plenty of info here once I make a start.

    Thanks!

    Yep I’m a bit of a fan, brought my missus a weatherby in 270wsm with a leupold scope for an absolute steal, and that thing is pretty awesome too.

    Welcome aboard. Do you know that tearaway Dundee who hails from down your way? Short arse little duck shooter, trout fisherman, bunny buster and all round piss poor judge of distance that is prone to the odd bit of piss drinking.
    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 guys, appreciate it.
    Already sent a few hours reading thru. Some good stuff on here and good to see a very active forum, been a part of Offroad Express for years and it seems like it’s basically dead now which is a shame.

    Good ol Off Road Express, that's where I recognize the user name from. That was a fantastic forum, basically died overnight which was a real shame. I made several life long friendships through there.
    Welcome onto the forum.

    Gaday local @dvk-kp don't trust any words of wisdom from the Waikato swiller Rushy,we bound to meet in the Ruahines at some stage or at a river if you do trout fishing.
    I try to go bush in the S Ruahines at least three times a month.

    Yea it seems a bit odd about ORE, like you say, nearly overnight people just stopped using it.

    Cheers Dundee, I need to get up in thos hills more. I only live a few kays from them, just need to improve my bush stalking. I’m not very flash at it!
