    In NZ we are not obligated to take any meat, so unlike Canada and the US, we dont spend hours taking every little piece of edible meat. Takes a bit of getting your head around, but the reality is you...

    300PRC'd this guy last year with a 212gr Eldx at 350m. Does the job. Dropped back to 180gr for a bit more speed lately. That rifle is a truck gun tho... too jolly heavy. 246642

    As for a center fire the 243 seems to be making a come back. You dont actually need a different rifle for each different large animal you will hunt. If it were me Id look at 243 or 6.5x55 if you want...
