Legal Projectile weights for Kangaroo.

WAS...40g for 204r
WAS...50gr for 222 and above.
Anyone seen any changes? i.e. no more using 204R or 222Rem and min 55gr for 223?
Not happy if its true.

Yeah, but.....have you seen anything which may suggest there are changes in the wind?

No, have you?

There was a draft new Code of Practice a couple of years ago. I think I recall differences in calibres between the Code for commercial and non-commercial. But these changes were dropped.

Again, only by word of mouth from a gun-shop when I was purchasing proj. I have good reason to believe what this guy tells me. Also involves pro-shooters, re the 55gr/223. We shall see.
