Been there done that got the T shirt.
I think it is irresponsible to recommend such light frangible projectiles for bush ranges to a possibly novice hunter(?) without at least a caveat of pick your shots!

Yeah, fair call. Never did get why my mate and others buy a bigger cal then use the lightest weight round and de power it , always said he should of got a 243 Still, just pointing out they work ok if you know what you doing. Just look around at some comments you hear, theres still a number of people that think a 243 is totally unsuitable for a bush rifle, esp in the roar, and we know thats complete BS. Well, i take my 243 4 out of five times over my 308 hunting the roar because i know it works , but so does the 308. As long as you have good shot placement, and get the results no one can say its not suitable
