Goodness, how did the deercullers of the 1950s and 1960s cope without all the high tech gadgetry...? They realised that the actual distance on a steep angle shot (up or down) was less than the line...

Greetings again, I had fished out Bruce Grants book (1972) in which he had figures out to 400 yards for angles of 30 and 40 degrees and the mark VII .303 ammo. It seemed from that it was unlikely...

yeah 308 have used for 50 years - shot from 110 grain right up to 180 grain - but now stick to 150 grain - the 110 grain was FS supplied stubby little round nosed projectile - the goat cullers did...

The most important thing imo is not the caliber or cartridge but learning how to stalk close and shoot quickly and accurately off-hand and supported

243 with factory ammo would be fine for anything in the north island out to 300 mtr. If you get one with the new fast twist barrels and hand load then you are good to 500mtr. Again bullet...
