Re: Merkel 450-400 3" field test

Well done Mick.

I am guessing this is your "usual country", the Darwin guys said you hit that country a lot. Looks to be productive too.

The Merkel .450/400 is sure a killer. What are your Woodleigh handloads, are you using hydros or weldcores? I know you are using factory ammo in the photos.

If this was a late season, September hunt, the photos look cooler than the weather probably is. October is hotter again. Especially inland where you probably are. Well done.





The rifle came with data and regulated loads that group well. So Ive stuck to them. Rear Sight needs to be filed down as the impact is about 100mm high
The loads are with woodleighs, 400g PPSN's


September hunt with weather being pretty good as we had a proper dry this year. Going to the same country on Saturday and its going to be horrible. The build up is well and truly here. Country requires big km's and a fair bit of effort for success.
Heres some more pics cheers Mick
450-400 Merkel , the day I picked it up. First and second shot
