In 1939, British noblewoman Lady Sarah Ashley ([[Nicole Kidman]]) arrives in Australia to take charge of a vast cattle ranch. There, she meets a rugged individual known only as "the Drover" ([[Hugh Jackman]]) who has been assigned to help her manage the ranch. Despite their very different upbringings and lives, the two forge a relationship against the backdrop of the rugged Australian wilderness and the coming storm of the Second World War.  
Hugh Jackman's character carries a Winchester 1895 lever action rifle in the carbine configuration. Since Australia is a member of the British Empire/Commonwealth and allied with Great Britain it's probably a safe bet that the carbine is in .303 British. Probably the most popular sporting caliber in many of the British Commonwealth nations for many decades.
