I reckon the 6.5 caliber is the ideal choice for NZ hunting conditions with the possible exception of Wapiti in Fiordland or longer rage shooting in the Southern alps. I shot the 6.5x55 for many...

I'm the same as 6.5 CRD, I butcher them ( roughly ) where they fall. I take the best cuts first and as much of the rest as I can carry with my skinny little legs. I don't see the point in wasting...
