Thread: Sambar Calibre

@Mooseman shot a corker of a BoP sambar about 3 years ago - a really big beast - with his 6.5x55 and the 143gr ELD-X.

I remember the thread and photos on here clearly. There was photos of the hide / fat / terminal damage too.

Just sayin'..... You put the bullet in the right place, the job will be a good 'un.

When I lived in Oz, the guys in the Vic High Country that we knocked around with shot heaps of sambar in their lease blocks east of Omeo / Benambra. Real big, heavy deer. All the guys used .30-06 and heavy soft points. Most of those deer were shot at close-ish range.

Keep it simple.
