I would probably agree. When I’m not out hunting ( up to 4 days a week, usually with 223 ) I’m back on the spanners servicing four wheelers/sxs’s from around top of South Island. After talking with operators and observing ammo/ spent cases on machines I would suspect calibers used are 223, 308, 270,243, 7.62x39, 22 magnum ( small game maybe) then oddballs like WSM’s in that order. It’s amazing what you find hidden away on these machines at times.
