Newbie intro from Australia, into rifle and bow hunting, range shooting and reloading.

Usually hunt New England area, deer, pigs, goats etc.. Never hunted buffalo or scrub bulls but imagine it'd be pretty good.Welcome Mate! Tell us something more about your hunting interest and experience.
Especially if you can tell me about hunting buffalo in the Northern Territory. It's on my list.
Located o the Gold Coast and usually hunt New England area or out western Qld although it's been a while since I've hunted out west. Normal game is everything from rabbits to deer, pigs and goats etc.. Reload 222, 243, 25-06, 6.5x55, 270, 30-30, 308, 30-06 & 300Win.@JohnCZ .
Welcome mate ,where in OZ do you hail from. I'm on the central coast of nsw between Sydney and Newcastle. There's a whole bunch of Aussies on here. Best forum around, what calibers do you reload for and what do y ou hunt.
Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Heading down to guyra next week although a bit hot, border finally open so the old fella (75) can come for a weekend walk in the paddock. I have a new Mauser M12 Expert in 30-06 with an Aimpoint to chase some pigs hopefully.

Nah that would be Dad, figure I will drop into Ebor on the way down, he started me hunting when I was six there so I thought it'd be good just me and him for a couple of days.
Gold Coast Shooters is owned by a friend of mine, good shop for finding things that aren't always available. I have been looking at the odd 9.3x62 hmmm and there is a whole different thought...@JohnCZ
Hunted the adavale area but the gov't had just done an areal cull so a complete waste of time.. I like a plan the calibers you have except the 243. To me it's to big for small and to little for medium. Love the 25/06 and the 35 Whelen.
You also have a great gun shop up there in gold coast shooters supplies.
