[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 220371, member: 8927"] I have used 130 gr speer hp out of a 3006 on goats and it was truely devastating. It did manage to get in on big billy goats at close range. I am not sure how they would go at 500 yds though, wind i think would be the big problem. I did manage to shoot some goats at an estimated 300 yds once (before I had a rangefinder) and it certainly knocked them over. I am not sure how a 130 gr bullet would go on a big bull tahr at 500yds though. Run the data through a ballistic programme and see how it would compare to something like a 150 gr accubond. My gut feeling is by 500yds the 150 gr would be better in terms of less wind drift and more energy, but the 130 gr might win out to 300yds because of the higher velocity. Stu. [/QUOTE]
