Thread: 260 bull tahr projectiles

Here is the 150gn Ballistic Top from last week's stag. It went through the thick bone of the leg and ended up weighing 88 Grains. I think it held together pretty well.

Has been a good thread.

So in conclusion, we all agreed to learn from our previous mistakes, not shoot goats with 22lr, and that target bullets are good for shooting trophy game animals and that strongly constructed bullets are only to be used on targets or not at all.

We learnt that a 270 wsm can kill a thar.

We learnt that Superdiver has a mate.

And that Gimp is a grumpy, blunt bugger when anything 260 related comes up.

Always learning

We also learnt that you have "shot more tahr than everyone else put together". I guess this means you have been shooting them from a machine???

I'd prefer it stopped now as I've just finished my last beer and I don't think there's any popcorn in the house. @Tahr I've been using federal blue box 130s in the .270win for years and they make things dead pretty well.

I know someone that has shot them from a machine... and in that case they used a 223. Can we have an argument about shooting tahr with a 223 now....

Hope they were using GMX or TSX projectiles and not slinging recycled Christmas tinsel at them like @gimp and @Hunty1 and @Spitfire and @R93 and @superdiver

55gr soft points

Thanks for the replies. And the good banter. I haven't shot many tahr and think I will be on the right track to tackle a few more. Cheers fellas
