    Been giving the press some love, stiffening things up, with some 6 by 2. Got to say it's performing beautifully 231311

    Tried to "zoom in" on a photo in a magazine the other day with my fingers.....:D Getting too used to this digital stuff I think.

    Pure confidence and competence (for classic NZ hunting) for me. Bow=30m 223=150m 308 300m.

    I'm going to say 200 metres if everything is right. I don't get the opportunity to shoot much further than 50 metres most of the time and practice really does make perfect! I shot a goat when sitting...

    I’m relieved by many answers here, I don’t hunt often enough to feel confident past 300m. I hunt with a guy who’s great on the long shots and I’ve stuffed a few up and he’s been lined up and done...

    Sounds a bit like my grandfather. He always told me to shake the barrels when shooting at a mob of ducks to spread the pattern out a bit. It must work because quite often a different duck than I...

    My grand dad all ways told me not to shoot to far because it put too much strain on the barrel. He must have known a fair bit of high tech stuff like that because he told me that during ww1 when the...

    Dama dama liked post by Shearer On thread : 222 vs 223 on deer
    It is true that with 55gn projectiles there is little difference but modern 223s will happily shoot 80+gn projectiles. There in lies the biggest difference.

    A shooter purchasing factory ammo will indeed notice a very distinct difference between .222 and .223 - there is very little .222 ammunition available to purchase unfortunately

    The clincher is probably the availability of rifles. Not much choice in new .222 rifles these days. GPM.

    Get real you old buggers. You can load up a .222 to be like a .233, but you can load up a .223 to be like a .243. Stick that in your pipe :) .222 is great though. Shot many deer using 50 grain...

    150GR 1nterlocks are great and cheap to buy they group well and kill red skins & Sika well, 2206 is better for 150GR down I use 2208 it is probably better for 168GR and up. 1 load amax 168GR with...

    I agree. I run 150gr Gamekings, fantastic bullet for sub 250m. A good charge of AR2208 and a 150grn soft point is basically the Labrador of .308 loads - dependable. The interloc is slightly harder...
