[QUOTE="davidpollock, post: 2041, member: 633"] Gday from Australia, Only discovered your bulletin board 2 dys ago alot of useful information and interesting facts on equipment not really seen in Australia. a bit of info on Aussie hunting, Wild pigs and goats are very widespread and are the most commonly hunted game/feral animals in Australia, also 6 species of deer, foxes,rabbits,hares,cats, Water Buffalo and Banteng( Wild Indonesion Cattle) crows so i guess fewer species than North America but widespread with no seasons for pigs, goats etc due to their feal animal status. As to Long rang hunting lots of potential but is probably limited to 500 or 600 yards being considered a long shot. I hunt with a Sako 75 300 Weatherby and have had success on Pigs, goats, Fallow Deer and Red Deer am planning on doing some longer range practicing on targets. Anyone loading 125gn baliistic tips in 300 Web for varmints or is it better to stick to 150 or 180 gn loads, My other rifle is a BLaser R93 in 7mm Brenneke, which has been very effective on pigs and fallow deer with 140gn ballistic tips, has been great to find such an informative bulletin board, anyone who like to do alot of shooting should visit Australia and chech it out, Bye Dave [/QUOTE]
