Gday and happy new year from new Zealand

Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome bud, good to see you here not at the local lol !
 
G'day from Australia.
 
Welcome and happy new year from Virginia!
 
@Von Gruff Yup ive seen your fantastic work on the interweb and you have helped me with some pics for a lee speed fish belly mag on the nz hunting and shooting forum.
Gday @Sarg
Great to have you on board Craig. with the different forums it is not always easy to keep all correspondents in mind.
 
Welkom!
 
Welcome to AH! What have you hunted so far?
 
Greetings and salutations!
 
csmiffy, welcome to the AH forum! I hope kiwi country opens up before I get too old to visit again. Beautiful country!
 
Welcome to AH! What have you hunted so far?
@VertigoBE red deer and the odd fallow. feral goats too at times if that counts. Paradise ducks, mallards, grey ducks and Canada geese for the game birds.
I will say though I have had some long dry patchs (like 10 years in aussie where I didn't even have a firearms license and only did the odd bit of shooting on the trips home) and more recently where I have just been really slack for the last 5 years since moving back.
A couple of cranky cattle beasts and a stag have tasted the 416s wrath at least.
Seem to spend more time mucking around and taking way too long on various firearm projects.
 
Welcome aboard csmiffy. Hopefully your return to NZ will result in more hunting opportunities. What are the various firearm projects you made reference to? Von Gruff is an excellent source and or resource for questions relating to firearms and or knives.
 
Welcome to AH csmiffy! All the best for the New Year!

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
