Aussie outback label - for U.S. ?
If anyone else can see the method in their madness I'm willing to listen, but I reckon marketing had a bad day when this was designed.
The .223 round is suited to coyotes? - I'm yet to see one here

Yes the .223 is very good for coyotes. I've seen quite a few killed with it. And some people use it for pronghorn antelope and deer. It's used for deer a lot in Texas. It wouldn't be my choice for big game but it is used for that by some.

Sorry Bob - but my point was Coyotes and "Outback Australia" - they're never seen together.

Oh yeah, I see that now. Just wasn't paying attention I guess......again! Or maybe it's just old age creeping up. Do you shoot many dingo's? I've always wondered about them. How big do they get? I'd liketo come to your country some time and hunt varmints.
