For easily available ammo, good killing power pretty hard to go past 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag. If he's only shooting the odd deer or tahr then surely he can live with the recoil (shoot a brake or...

Interesting. From my perspective I expect that how the US Army interprets "incapacitate" is quite different to the "ethical clean kill" that I expect on deer and Tahr That's why I wouldn't use one...

I would have thought if your talking specifics , a calibre for shooting animals at 600m a 30-06 would really be a starting point , I mean why would you perhaps undergun your self if your specifically...

What is he trying to kill ? Bull thar at 600 is very different from fallow at 600... You want enough energy at the far end. So something like a 30-06 with heavy projectiles or one of the common...

7mm rem mag with hornady sst or eldx. I agree that if you need to ask the question you maybe aren't ready for that far. One thing tho, once you choose 7mm rem mag or 300 win or what ever stick to it...
