[QUOTE="ZKersh, post: 843975, member: 70872"] Well i live on a cattle station in remote Australia. At the moment I personally have a .223 Remington which is pretty good, but i want to get something with a bit more stopping power for larger animals. I'm not exactly sure what the limit's on rifles are, I've got mates in my boarding house that have up to 30 rifles, but I'm not sure if that's on a standard licence. As far as what the largest caliber is i'm not exactly sure I know that you can't have a normal licence, but I know that a .338 is. personally I don't think you would need anything that big for any game over here and they are just too expensive to run. A lot of roo shooters like the .223 Remington with 55gr's, but the .243 Winchester with 80gr's are used by a lot of people too. Most of the shooting I do with my .223 I use Remington Core-Lokt, which I find I can head shoot roos 9 out of 10 times anywhere out to 200m. Apart form that I'll have to do a bit more research.
