Hairyhunter Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi all, I have recently (1-2 yrs) become involved in hunting again. I use a 270, am about to run in a 204 and looking forward to my 300 magnum soon. I recently got myself a 4wd and am looking forward to getting out of the city regularly.

muvro Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 G'day G'day! A mate pointed me over here from another hobby based forum when the topic arose about shooting. I'm yet to check out the site in detail, but my first few reads have left me wanting more... haha Basicly I shoot with a 22-250 and an old russian 22 sports. Only been shooting for a few years on long weekends when I head up to the inlaws property. Mainly target goats, but have always been on the look out for pigs and a few other vermin. If I'm not up the farm shooting, I'm working on my car or someone elses... Cheers Tark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhunter Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello everybody, I'm Randell, from Victoria. I've been hunting, off and on for about 35 years, but started to get serious about deer hunting about 6 years ago. I've managed to get 2 sambar, 2 rusa (in New Caledonia) and administered the coup-de-grace on a fallow for a hunting mate of mine. I hunt sambar with a 375 H&H or a 45-70. We're off to north central NSW next week to hunt pigs and chital. I also shoot pistols competitively, dabble in skeet and have shot full bore. I also like to experiment with handloading, and I'm a bit of an accuracy nut, so any info in this area will be gratefully received. On that note, I have an InterArms 243 (Zastava commercial Mauser 98 action, sporter weight barrel) which wouldn't group as well as I liked. Bedded the action and floated the barrel, and went to the range. No improvement, in fact groups were worse. Then, checked the gun bag, a box of ammo, loaded with 60gn sierra HP's/AR2206. 3 shots in 0.305"/7.7mm. The rifle obviously doesn't like win 785 powder (load I tried earlier). Checked the records when I got home, the 60gnHP/AR2206 load had been tested and shot around 0.6" to 0.7". The moral here: keep records, check your records and and keep experimenting. Does anyone have experience hunting medium game (pigs, fallow, chital) with a 243 and can reccommend a good, controlled expansion bullet? One that penetrates and expands, does break up on heavy bone or mud encrusted hide? Look forward to talking about hunting, shooting, ballistics, reloading and the whole deal. Regards, Randell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a few rifles my main deer rifle is a 308 Tikka T3 fitted with Reflex T8 and Zeiss Conquest glass, 22 Winchester 1890 pump bunny basher, and couple shotguns for game and rough shooting, but don't look as if I can sort the paperwork out in time to bring a rifle with me.. hey ho so will have to hire one or go on an organised day out Any info on where to go shoot is NSW area be greatly appreciated, to find something unussual and reasonable cost would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreyevich Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hey all, I'm from Sydney and I'm looking to get started hunting vermin with a medium-sized rifle - around .308 Win calibre.
