    Only one choice 458 Win Mag. Be interesting to see how it compares to my 404 Jeffery.

    One vote for the 458 Win. Might just be enough for a charging wallaby at 20yds.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    I have the in close charging wallaby covered with the Husky 1600 9.3x62, but correctly the 458 would make a good backup in case I mess up and just wound it.
    soooooo....
    Sorry to have to disagree however tentatively with Stug on this occasion but I'd like to vote for the biggest wood/blued rifle seems thats the 602, with that calibre charging wallaby at 300 meters are in trouble.

    Try to bring both eh? [ I'll let you shoot my slug gun].

    The 602 has been to Africa twice with the previous owner and taken some nice trophies.

    I can't promise that. It might be very negative. You should keep me happy

    Right, not long now, if you are going to come can you please PM me with contact information (email mainly) so that I can let the farmer know how many people are coming and get the right amount of targets.

    Here is something to get you going

    I think I'm ready
    The wife has just hauled the kitchen sink out from the back of the truck, so I'm going to call it good.
