Yeah you're right John, seems its 308s, 243s and 223s for 90% of hunters in this country. The other 10% of hunters will experiment with any number of cartridges but in the main Aussie shooters seem like an unimaginative bunch; hence a dearth of cartridges like the 7mm RM. Having said that the 7-08 is really catching on now.
Last piece of Col's that I read he was using a Zastava 30-06 and 125g NBTs on hog deer. Semi retired on the NSW mid north coast now. He's certainly one writer I'd enjoy having a beer with. His knowledge of customs and stockwood is something that would be interesting to tap into.
