    The Chinese make some pretty good steels. Even their cheap stuff is good for day to day work.

    Your .243 would be ideal Phil_H not only for the 300m+ shooting needed for roos but also for the bigger beasts you are likely to run into as well. Plenty of pigs and fallow about in SI roo country...

    Just to reassure you, I wasn't in anyway advocating shooting deer with a .22 mag. It was more in way of what would be theoretically possible if one was 100% able to guarantee shot placement...
