Bakes,

I think much of it can be traced back to the fact that we are basically varmint shooting and the importance attached to each animal is very small.

This is also seen in our calibre selection and calibre use. For example, the very keen guns and ammo Australian shooter is likely to use a calibre that might not be regarded as the most efficient for the job at hand. Our American friends that own cannons are still most likely to use the appropriate calibre when they go deer or pronghorn antelope hunting whereas for us we are not after a particular roo, pig or goat and fun overrides efficiency.
