I'm thinking of a long term project with a break open rifle in either .22 Savage Hi-Power or the .225 Winchester.

"Cartridges of the World" lists the .22 Savage Hi-Power as shooting a .228" 70 gr bullet at approximately 3000 fps.

The same reference lists the .225 Winchester as pushing a .224" 70 grain projectile at about the same speed.

What sort of game would you use these cartridges for in Australia or similar game overseas?

An ideal kangaroo round? Small pigs and goats? Hog deer and the smaller deer species?

What do you think?
