Bullet choice
Hi new to forum live in england and noticed this forum i wonder if you guys can help me please. have had a .2506 for many years and have always killed all the deer fox and rabbits i have shot with 75 -87 -100 -grain bullets. i have killed red deer and sikka with the sieera 87 grain varminter bullets no problems, now i am moving to New zealand next fall, and i will be able to shoot tahr (a big hairy goat for those who dont know). Now tahr live in open mountain regions and are often shot at longish range and they have a thick hide and hair that aparently makes them tough to kill???. now i have no experience of the 100 grain to 120 grain area of bullets in the .2506, i have considered the 115 gr barnes triple shock or the trophy bonded bear claw for this job do you think these will do the job or do you have any other sujestions, am i being a bit media steered and worrying about nothing and should i just use what i do for deer or do i need a tougher bullet for a tougher animal.?
