Yep, Dan is right we shoot hundreds of red deer and smaller deer species every year here in NZ with 22 centrefires. my favourite is the 222, watch em drop!

So many things wrong with that one...

That is true, we are very spoiled in NZ and anyone can get a Firearms License or tourist version and go hunting on public land that holds tremendous trophies.

Great article! I think shooters are spoiled for choice when it comes to the 264 calibre these days. It seems the US market is catching on to the popularity of the ‘little’ 6.5mm that has been enjoyed worldwide for some time. Another great option that has been around for some time is the...

They are good bullets. I used the prohunters for years in the 308.

Are you talking about the gamekings or game Changers?

Have yet to shoot something heavier bodied, however based on my fellow hunters results here in NZ they seem to be on the harder side when compared to ELD-X.

That's right. Paul sent me some directly with the H1000. I saw 12 reds at the farm the week prior but they weren't there in the weekend. I have heaps of video to edit up and will throw the link on here once uploaded.

Sierra recently released a new series of plastic tipped hunting projectiles called the ‘GameChanger’. Sierra has produced some great traditional lead nose hunting bullets over the years with their GameKing and Pro-Hunter lines and I have used them to shoot a lot of animals. The packaging labels...

I have a 264 Win Mag built on a Howa action with a Shilen 26" match barrel. I have shot all types of game here in NZ with this rifle using 140 Grain SST bullets from Hornady. I have about 350 rounds down and it is still a half MOA gun. I have tried the Hornady 120 gr GMX and 90 GR peer TNT and...

Yes we are lucky! Can't wait to get stateside again!

Hi All, I'm a long time hunter first time poster from down under in NZ. I have been a gun writer for the last 5 years and have started to compete at LR shooting matches with some success recently. I enjoy clay bird shooting, varminting, Pistol shooting and big game hunting. I'm looking...
