300 yard zero

Nice brother. Rogee and Matt are good fella's. Lots of deer in those hills. Saw a few about 6-weeks ago. Great you got out, I've been too busy of late or the weather has been average...

@@longrangehuntingadventures chear brother love your channel . Videos are great look forward to see your next video.. take care

Brutal is an understatement haha

Yeah it's a good spot but not easy to get to bush bashing...

Yes mate. Called into your work a couple of months ago to catch up with you but you were not on shift. Hope all is well. Nice stag you got the other day.

Great to be able to share those experiences with teenagers, especially walking good distances with steep climbs. Cheers

A new hunt will be out this Friday and then we are switching to using the 338 Lap Magnum for the remainder of the year. The next hunt has a deer on the deck.

Thank you for the advice.

Easy to see the kiss on the computer/tv vs on the camera onsite. Gutted but as you say, its definitely a science which we keep going back for fine tuning. Moving to hunting with the 338 Lap this year. A great rifle to shoot.

@@longrangehuntingadventures hell yeah love the Laps I’ve tried one out and it sounded like a cannon in the bush 🤙😆

I validated the gun at the northern end of the Aorangi Forest Park. Theres a track heading north up the ridge from the carpark. I was shooting across to a slip.

@@longrangehuntingadventures Haurangi road end then walk towards mount ross? Never thought of validating there cheers

@wkeyenjoyer yes mate.

Great advice. I checked my 338 Lap Mag at 1150m a week ago and adjusted it from that but will pull that back to 1000m and recheck. Will get a chronograph as I'll need that for reloading too.

​​​@@longrangehuntingadventures 1150m even better. Always worth validating on a target so you can measure group size and elevation error, but not always easy finding a spot where you can set up a target at those distances.

Thanks for watching. Rogee's a great fella and the rest of the BOBs. Safe hunting and Merry Christmas.

Is that your gear stashed in the undergrowth? I was looking to get to a blind on the other side, below where the farmers track ends. Yet to check it out.

@@longrangehuntingadventures nah. We were out the other side. Heaps of feed around though.

Hey Tim, I use a ballistic app and estimated the wind. I used a 300 Win Mag with 200gr ELD ammo. On my later trip to the same place I checked my accuracy on a rock (maybe 6" in size) at 594 yards and shattered the rock. I can only assume the wind was going the opposite direction down range. I'll likely post another video, but didn't shoot anything on the latest trip. Saw two deer at around 900 yards directly to the front of the clearing, way up the gully.

This is public land Phil.

Yep - clean humane shot in the right place or don't shoot at all & keep these spots off the web mate - others of us go there & there's a few people including you who just can't keep quiet for 5 minutes of fame , then wonder why there's so many people at the road entrances or hunting at 'your' spot good video otherwise, cheers

Hi Connor I'm using factory ammo at present and will get into reloading next year sometime. Using Hornady Precision Hunter 200gr ELD-X, which I find to be good.

That ammo gives 2850 fps at the muzzle

Oh Stan, you've put a smile on my face mate. Wait for the next video and you'll see what I can do without wind bending the bullet. We should catch up for a hunt sometime soon to share a laugh.

Thanks Coxy. Great to see you at the airport mate.

Hope it sells quickly and had loads of fun shooting it.

Sorted at the gun shop just need lambing to finish to zero at 300 and validate at 600.

Great bags!

@@longrangehuntingadventures sweet- it's my wife that makes them :)

@@antsbantsb8430 AB if you want some free advertising, get your wife to reach out. These are amazing products brother. Happy to help out.

Hey Adam, nice of you to reach out. Hope your hunt went well. I've just come out again after another trip in there. Had a miss at 794 yards. Went back through my shooting process, this time checking the level on my scope mount and found the scope was leaning to one side. So gutted. If you want to get out for a hunt sometime and Grant can't make it, sing out.

@@longrangehuntingadventures awesome mate, was great meeting you. Sounds awesome for a trip sometime, it’s a bugger that I’m a 6hr drive from you guys but I will be definitely coming down again at some stage. I’m generally been more of a stalker at our locations up this way but loved your open country down there so definitely keen to hit same more areas like that again. Man that’s a awesome range to be shooting at but definitely understand the importance of a level rifle. I actually just chucked a bubble level on my scope last night and man what a difference that made with targets today. With my shorty I would be happy to reach the 400y - 450 yard mark accurately this year if I could but long range is newer to me as most of my deer stalking has been 5y to 200y lol. I had a 300wm but sold that recently and plan to get another next year to open up the range a little more again in some of these more open spots even if I have to travel more.

Thanks mate. Got out again today and lined up a red at 800 yards in the Aorangis. Round went high. Might have a scope issue as the reticle is leaning to one side. Gutted!

Hey Stan, yeah I saw your video pop up earlier in the week. It's a good walk up that way from the car park from where you came in from. There's a good clearing at around 1100-1400 ish yards just before you get to the tops. Might be back there within the month.

Thanks Greg, definitely cool to be able to drive to a hut. It's a great area to hunt in.

Hey mate, great running into you and your partner. I was playing it safe carrying overnight gears with me and had fun getting partway up the Dingleburn. I spooked one but didn't see anything else there. It was great to see a bull that with its impressive cape. I've never hunted thar before. Would be keen to come in a month earlier during the rut. Thanks for stopping to have a chat.

Did you end up needing crampons on the Upper Dingleburn Hut side of the hill and how deep was the snow up top?

@benmcbride1396 I went over and stayed a night in the top Dingle hut on the 22nd. Would've been your foot prints in the snow. Seen a few tahr directly across from the hut. Did you guys have a possum keeping you up at night living under the hut? I did until he caught the end of the spade.

@@longrangehuntingadventures I slept a night in the tent just one gut up the valley from where you shot the deer on the 21st. There was a chamois buck by himself there about where you climbed to the next day.

lol... yeah its getting old and had to be used up.

Thanks mate. Yeah the 338 would be a beast without the muzzle break! It kicks like a mule as it is. 😂

G'day mate, I have to say it's great being back on the mainland and meeting so many good people. Appreciate the feedback ref the content. Hope your hunt went well. Certainly the terrain was a challenge for me this time with snow. Safe hunting.

The hunting community in Wellington is small, isn't it...😮

Good to meet you the other day. Did you see anything later that evening?

@@longrangehuntingadventures nah. Got cold and dark pretty quick. I think the big gun must have scared everything away! 😀

Hey Dean, waiting on the last of the areas affected by 1080 to open up. Thanks for the advice..

Hey Stan, not sure about Otaki. We should catch up for a hunt sometime

Hey Josh, I'm ex army and always shot out to 300m. In the last 3-years I have applied the skills and knowledge from the army to longer ranges.
