Sambar in Victoria, needs to be at least .270 130gr legally. So the 6.5 PRC is out.
Secondary target is goats at 500-700m which again is out of the creedmoors reach with monos. (Paddock shooting, no cover to get closer but has good backstops. This is where the ballistic advantages of the 7mm monos over the 300 monos comes in, particularly with wind drift, unless I go a 300 PRC which I then have to lug that monster through the bush for Sambar.)
7-08 is out as its just not different enough to my 6.5 Cr for me to justify it...I suppose I could sell the Creed.

I'll have a look into the SAUM, thanks.


Yes I get it I should probably get a 9.3x Xmm for sambar/bush and then something .300 maglike for long range targets + goats....but I'm trying to do it with one gun.
