The 80gr ELDMs at 2800 out of a 223 seem to work fine for shoulder shots on reds and bulk tahr at close range so I can't imagine the 7mm 162s won't

That said, as hunters with an interest in participating in management, we should be looking to contribute to maintaining low numbers of females wherever and whenever possible.

No denying it, long range hunting is a hell of a discipline and skill when executed correctly. Hugely popular now with so many animals venturing into open country. Getting inside the comfort zone of...
