Jeff, it is very dry here at the moment as we are in a bad drought. 25 degrees Celsius. I do a lot of hunting for ferals like rabbits, foxes, pigs, goats. I hunt Sambar deer, Red deer and Fallow deer. I am hoping to head north for scrub bulls and buffalo next year. I shoot in the Big Game Rifle Club. Look on the Web for Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) and check out the site. I use a Ruger #1 in 450 nitro, Brno 550 458, a Baikal 9.3x74R DR, 1900 BSA 303 SMLE, Ruger #1 .243 with a Leopold 6.5 to 20 scope for general hunting. Until very recently, I hunted all of the above plus Donkies, Brumbies and Camels with a bow and arrow. I have given the archery away for several reasons. I enjoy the rifles much more.

The Black powder Double sounds realy good. I would buy that instead of the Brno and use it for hunting. It would be a investment as well as a hunting rifle.

I also agree that I would rather shoot a 375 instead of some 338 mags.

Great to hear form you. Let us know which way you go with the rifle.
