Good bit of finding Variable. Hadn't done much more than look through the Trade me (NZ Ebay) where one of the major dealers does a 15 count sampler pack of all the bullets they carry so a test does not mean buying 50 or 100 count boxes of everything and the sampler pack is enough to do two 7 bullet ladder tests with one for the display wall or dummy round.
What I had seen so far was reasonably encouraging even if the whole range is not imediatly available, but hadn't got too serious about searching yet untill I have the rifle in hand.

This is what was on this weeks offering. Remember multiple our dollar by .8 to get USD.

Yikes! Those LRX and GRX bullets are spendy! Of course they aren't exactly cheap over here either though.LOL

Mine is only one opinion, but were I you (with the pics of what you've been shooting in mind...), I'd definitely be sure to try the 120 gr. Nosler BT's as one of my first loads when you get started. They should drop all of your non-"Super Duty" critters dead right there for the most part. You can run stouter loads in a bolt gun, and that will give the 120's optimal punch.


If I were chasing after one of your Red Stag with a Grendel, then I'd likely opt for one of the heavier constructed bullets. Probably a Barnes TTSX or one of the other solids, depending on which one my rifle liked.
