Rifles

Winchester Model 1895

Drover (Hugh Jackman) 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.

After speaking with the film's armourer (John Bowring), I can confirm that both Winchester Model 1895 carbines were chambered in .303 British. [Peter Collins]
