6.5mm Rapier Wildcat

Most factory calibres on offer to stalkers today will equally get the job done in the right hands when ensuring correct bullet placement and bullet construction. But sometimes it’s just nice to own something different. I quite fancied creating as an efficient cartridge design that I could, whilst using a quality existing parent case that would be in a deer calibre but could also double as a fox / long range round.

Chinese Water Deer

It`s an odd thing, yet despite my love of deer stalking and related subjects that Chinese water deer have really been off my radar. They have become very much a part of the British countryside in some of the Home Counties but to me they held no real interest. That was until I met Mr CWD himself. Charlie “Chinky” Harriman who works within the agricultural sector and has access to some pretty impressive estates and privately own land.
