Hope this helps i also hunt in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the Northen Terotory,
My next calibre is a 7mm rem SAUM with 175 or 168gr MatchKings and for Varmint shooting my most popular rifle is
6mmBR 90gr HPBT Berger's factory Rem vls 243 rechambered factory barrel cut to 22" KX3 flash supressor and Varget MV 2800fps
I only use Rem cases for my short mag and my 338 WBX but Lapua for my BR. I have some Norma cases coming for my F Class rifle in 7mm Rem SAUM and use Retumbo in that aswell as my 338 WBX and i use 175gr MatchKings for F Class aswell. i use H1000 in the 7mm SAUM huinting rifle or H4831SC because it has the shorter barrel.
Cheers Bill
