    When we lived in Arnhem Land the local Aboriginals were basically stopped from getting Semi Autos so a lot used lever actions & pump rifles ,at the end of season we were responsible for cleaning up as many ferals on our designated blocks as possible so we shot 1000's of pigs & Jesus Taxis with various levers as ammo was supplied & we cleared using quads or cut down Suzi's & Air Boats.

    I have owned 357mag,44mag,30/30,375 big bore, 444 &45/70 of all of them for here l would select 44mag for pigs & deer up close in the bush, a 30/30 for pigs & deer out to 150 with a 1x4 or good red dot if hunting is usually up close , my choice would be 444 for all round general out to 200 with a 1x4 or 2x7, to many over scope them .IMO the 444 is a really good set up for our hunting ,but absolutely nothing wrong with the dirty 30 just not as much punch in the thick stuff & there is plenty of them floating on the SH shelves in GC last l looked .
