How many people do you want to put in it. Had one for 2 weeks (years ago) and sold it as couldn't comfortably put 2 people in it with (netting) gear. So you, the Mrs and the dog could be fun.

For hunting, assuming you do not always shoot prone and with support, i say stick to hunting ammo. it is better to aim for a body shots with a hunting ammo than headshots with target ammo.

You are 100% right. You can get a 22 very accurate at 100m but you cannot/should not use it for hunting. Because to get good accuracy you must shoot target ammo, which are crap for hunting.

You'd be right on the last count Mooseman. He was living in DoC scrub and about to come out onto top pasture. The other eight I got in a less lush spot was the same large body but not quite as fat.

Can't give you any recommendations on a shop as I haven't used Christchurch gun shops enough. Having worked in retail I can say any store will skew towards what they want to sell. The truth of the...

Kiwi fruit will do a good job too - the acidity/enzymes helps break down the meat. The same method can be used in low n slow smoking, when cooking briskets etc.

Even different batches of the same ammo will produce the "splatter" you mention. There us a saying in the 22 benchrest and PRS circles "your 22 is only as good as the batch of ammo that you have at...
