I will give them a run at the Te Puke "Bring it and Shoot it" event on Sunday. It will be useful to check the POI's at 3,5,600 yards before I use them on game.

My plain old NZ hunting flavour is the mighty .243, everything big, small, near and far dies. Not in the habit of trying to kill stuff at 900yds though, I just get closer....

I love these debates. I'm a 270 guy. Ay? I think if i had to have 1 rifle, that would be it. I agree with the recoil/blast comments above, but I think they are more than offset by the long range...

Am I being too simple when I suggest that you chamber the cases and fire them.......The primer going off will dislodge/burn the powder.......then deprime and resize.
