Have been testing and putting through a few rounds on targets, steel and goats getting things right with a awesome load worked out shooting the 285gr ELD-M, I was running Berger Elite hunters 300gr but had mixed results in terminal performance with some penciling through. I needed more instant...

There are three types main types of red deer farming, meat where some farmer have elk sire put over red hind to produce a bigger animal for the meat market Red deer velvet farming for export to China, the smaller stags and yearling hinds go in to market export to Europe. Red stag trophy...

Yes good spot in there for Tahr, stayed in that hut a few times.

Hi Ranger Rick, yes fighting to death with 20 to 100 stags in a paddock, 2 stags be locked up together fighting and the third stag will come in a stab one of the two in the guts. I happens a lot and with no overseas clients coming in to shoot them there’s not enough room in the paddock for high...

Hello I’m from New Zealand. I deer hunt all year round, it’s the rut/roar at the moment here, just in the last 2 weeks before we had the covid19 virus lockdown I spent 14 days hunting red deer hunting and culling goats. For the two trip I got 32 deer and 176 goats on public land. I’ve shoot my...

Had a few over the years, 338 Edge at the moment.

I’m running a 338 Edge shooting red deer and had a lot more quicker kills with them compered to the 300gr Elite Hunter. I have only just start using them and 460m is the max distance so far, time will tell. Body shots look like a grenade has gone off inside with massive internal damage. Our...

Hinds weight about 260 lbs, I have only shot 18 deer and 30+ goat with the Berger’s and all pretty quick kills, some have fist size exit holes. 940m is the farthest I’ve shot a deer so far. Happy with the performance of 300gr elite hunters, time will tell as I’ve only had this rifle 12 months.

Red hind head shot straight on bullet blew the jaw off then passed through the neck into the chest and out the shoulder at 550m. 338 edge 300gr elite hunter @ 2865fps

I use a primus omnifuel running on white spirits it’s not the lightest but very reliable, can melt snow fast, simmering a meal or fry a steak.

Had a couple of NXS 3.5-15x56 and 8-32x56 nice hunting scopes when they first came out, worked well on goats out to 1200m. Had them on a few rifles over the years from 223rem, 308win, 300wsm, 270win. Now running a 4-16x42 ATACR on a 338 edge, easily enough magnification to 1000m for me. I like...

I’ve been using Nightforce for the last 16 years, weights not a issue when it’s slung on you shoulders or prone on a bipod. All of mine are matching reticles, easier for wind hold offs and drops if I don’t want to dial close range. One rotation on a Actac turret 30moa gets me to 1100m.

I’m running 300gr Berger elite hunter with 93gr of ADI ar2225 which is rebranded as Retumbo in the USA @ 2870fps in a 28” barreled edge. ES 14fps. OAL 4.010
