   Unless there is a huge jump in shot velvet price I havent heard of, I dont know how you could even justify an R22 shooting stags for velvet alone. Game management likely will never work in Nz. Too...

   160 gn partition would be my 1st choice out of 7mmRM for big stuff, & for the ranges you’ve stated. Bonded pills like 160Abs or 150gn Swift Scirocco would also be pretty useful
