Gidday - welcome to the forum. Its been 40 years at least since I hunted in the Tararuas, and in those days the deer were spread mighty thin, so I can't be at all specific. From my limited...

I have been hunting those areas for 20 years plus. This time of year bush hunting in there will be very difficult, the leaf litter on the ground is crunchy and stalking will be very noisy. During...

162elds and 168bergers are fine. I wouldn't want for more in a nz hunting rifle myself. The bore is .5mm too big though:O_O:

With the ammo shortage at the moment you can still walk into any shop and buy 270 or 308 ammo :thumbsup:

With the new bullets coming for the 270 it might make it a better option than the 284 because of the factory availability of ammo and rifles .Makes sense from a marketing point of view for their...

Don't the Duley's use a 270 as their bush gun? I'm sure I read Greg saying that when they weighed up all the calibres that the 270 was the best option. Probably counterintuitive to what we think as a...

The Duleys said the point of their bushpig was primarily to use factory ammo and be short. This obviously skews in favour of the 270 as it has the most case capacity. It wasnt the most efficient it...

If your last 14 deer were all inside 150y why even bother with cds? You could go old school and zero at 200 and shoot anything out to 250
