    Re the 6.5 being enough on tahr they definitely are, mate was shooting stonkers on the west coast with a 15.5" 6.5x55 bushpig. Your 243 sounds lethal 257!
    The Duley's have an excellent hunting ethic, they go out of their way to make a top TV show from their adventures. And they are pretty switched on regarding game management, the whole hunting scene, the resource etc, and convey that well to both hunters and non hunters alike. But there are many of us out here that are not keen on continually portraying long range hunting as the b all and end all. The reality is that only a very small number of us are able to utilise a long range rig ethically, the majority of hunters still keep our shots within a realistic 300-350. And I think its the constant taking of long range shots, hence the encouragement of it, that rubs people up the wrong way.
