Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Federal calibers?

The .338 Lapua Magnum was designed for long-range target shooting and excels in accuracy at distance. .338 Winchester Magnum and .338 Federal are primarily hunting calibers, factory-loaded with projectiles suitable for game, and generally lack dedicated target loads.

What are the typical firearm licensing requirements regarding property size in Queensland?

In Queensland, obtaining a firearm license using a landowner's letter as a genuine reason often requires a minimum of 40 acres, even if the property is rural and not within a major town. This is typically a policy, not a legislative, requirement.

Are electronic fox calls effective for hunting?

Based on personal experience, electronic fox calls have been found to be less effective than using one's own voice or mimicking the sound of an injured rabbit or hare. Basic fox whistles or mouth calls are often sufficient and more reliable.

What types of products does Ozzie Reviews refuse to review?

Ozzie Reviews refuses to review products he deems low-quality or unreliable, particularly Chinese-made optics like certain ATN models and scopes. He prioritizes quality and functionality, avoiding items he wouldn't personally use on his own firearms.
