    Sambar Calibre

    What's everyone's opinions of what is the best calibre for sambar (and why over any other calibre)?

    I know I'll get contrasting opinions. Wanting to think this through before adding another gun to the safe

    243 and 6.5 creedmoor are a bit light for the sambar (knew I shouldn't have got rid of my 270)

    Last sambar I got with the creedmoor using 143 ELD-X took 2 into the heart and 2 in the lungs and still went for a bit of a walk. I was surprised when gutting it at the state of the heart that it didn't drop earlier
