Yep that nails it... Its a niche caliber these days. A .22 with extra punch, but nothing like the power of a 223 for bigger game like wallabies, goats.

FYI, Just looked up my old reloading book. 8 gr trailboss pushed my 105 gr bergers at aprox 1000 fps from my 24" barrel 243. Also know that 14 gr of trailboss pushed the 58gr vmax at 23-2400...

If you want cheap accurate projectiles Delta Mike do the 75gr flat base hollow points for $40 per 100 and they do a significant amount of damage to small critters.

This time he took ice skating attachments for his boots. You never know what he's going to pull out of his pack lol.

I certainly don't want a Fraser myself But would love to see the build quality and engraving because Daniel Fraser Co was perhaps the very best gun finishers.

Loaded 100 rounds of 44gr 2208. Thought with 45gr it was going to be too full. Using 150gr Sierra GMK. Seemed to seat well. Mostly PSD cases. 45gr the upper limit?

I don't reload but from an engineering background I would drill out the primer & fill the case with CRC FREEZE SPRAY. The brass case should cool down fast as and pull away from the die. It may even...

To cover kiwi conditions - .22, 223, and 308 (or similar), and 12 guage. There are of course other centrefire calibers just as effective as 308, but advantage with 308 is you always have a ready...
