[QUOTE="steelshooter, post: 619775, member: 34212"] Stix I am Down Under as well and hunt all of the above on your list around SE Qld. I think the 243 is a very versatile calibre for Aussie game and a 100gn or even a 87gn pill will handle dogs out to 500m. I know blokes who even hunt Reds with a 243. I'd get a 260rem before a 25-06 though, a good range of projectiles available for them. Both the 25-06 and 260 are a bit hard on roos, the boxes will condem carcasses with too much damage. If you don't want to make elevation changes then a ballistic type reticle may be your best option. Just know how your aiming points correspond with your loads. [/QUOTE]
