Mallee, it's going to be a target rifle mate. But that won't stop it picking off some furry things from time to time. My main load will be using a 140gn Hornady Amax. Great ballistics and barrel life is expected to be around 4,000 rounds. I got tired of using my hunting rifles at the range, so though a long range paper puncher might be a good idea. The ballistics are very impressive. I have a nice little 222 I mainly use for foxes, dogs and the odd rabbit. If long range is what you want, the 224 calibre is easily pushed around by wind. The 6.5 is a lot more efficient if wind is a factor.
If it's not wood and blued steel, it's not one of mine
