I assume for predator control? I assume 7.62X51mm for some kind of semi-auto rifle, but port pressure was not part of the specification? I would be interested in hearing results.

How come "they" came to the US to get these loaded?

Because Australia is bloody useless at manufacturing stuff these days. No car industry anymore, just about importing all petrol and diesel now with about six weeks reserve of diesel, only two or three oil refineries left in the whole country, we are buying submarines from France as the last lot we tried to build here didn't work (too noisy). We have just about closed down all the important manufacturing industries and rely on importing just about everything. We have put alot of our eggs in the China basket and now it's starting to backfire on us.
