Really though you may need to be more selective about placement. How much effort are you putting into looking for the animal after the shot? Are you tracking?

If anything was likely to "kill off" the 7mmRM in NZ I'd pick the 6.5 PRC. You only have to watch the first part of Norway s new Ibex video to hear why. Extreme wind bucking with 156s at...

There is no real world difference between them. Since the 7mm Rem mag has had half a century of good will and achievement I really doubt the 7 PRC will ever be selling more rifles than the 7mm...

Always liked carrying a M94 in the bush, very easy to snake through the scrub and tree-fall holding it with one hand around the lever. Not really enough legs for out in the open, but hard to beat in...

All sorted now. My local hnf had Fiocci 150gn on sale so I have it a try. It shoots the SST with a milder load than the super performance. It easily put x5 rounds under an inch. Chronoed at 2660...
