Sambar, Red and Rusa all require .270+ calibre there in Victoria. Of that I'm sure.
I thought that was the same case in NSW to be honest too?

NSW has no legal minimum cartridges for deer, only recommended minimums. That leaves cartridge choice up to the hunter as it should be, there's no reason a skilled stalker shouldn't have the choice of a smaller cartridge as long as game is taken in a humane manner

if you can 'legally' hunt 'the' Victorian deer species, then don't even consider a 6.5x55 for hunting deer in Vic.

Are you suggesting a 6.5x55 isn't suitable for fallow and hog deer ?

Yeah I think you need to book a tree to stand under and tie a GPS to your foot and paint yourself orange.

I want to get a CZ or something in this caliber. It is not really used in the US. I just think it is neat.

LOL, well that table looks legit, shame about the date I remember the 84th of June well.
I'm at work so I can't argue until I have a look at some stuff tonight (not that it's an argument)
Where does that table come from mate? Do you have a link to it?
Seem they are measured averages, not reccomended maximums which is where I mean it's a "low pressure cartridge"
I'll have a look at some data tonight and get back to you.

Bugger knows who these hunters supposedly were though.
Probably some guy who heard a hunting story in a gun store one day when he was kicking tyres.
