    Welcome to the forum, there's no shortage of experience or advice and most of that comes from experience. I first started out with a .22 as well, but as its already been pointed out your shots have to be consistently accurate, use high velocity ammo, take your time, smack them in the head. I lost a few which became a real frustration because I thought the shot was good, spent a lot time bush bashing to dispatch a wounded animal. I bought a 223 and never looked back. If you are keen to try a 223 out before purchasing, drop me a message and I will help you out.

    The humble ,22 is a great round to learn to shoot with, cheap, accurate and no recoil. A good round for a variety of pests. They are also a good caliber to fall back on if you develop a bad habit with a larger caliber rifle to iron that habit out again.

    I have recently relocated from TK and when I was there on average fortnightly I'd take the 22 out and harvest a young nanny for a Sunday curry.

    Good Luck
