[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1233132, member: 48608"] Good advice. I took Tahr and Chamois in New Zealand mountains this past June. Both animals one shot bang flop. Chamois at 210 yards and Tahr at 285. Both were taken with the factory Hornaday 143 ELD X. Very accurate in my rifle. Before the hunt we shot some steel out to 660 yards and I had a group of 2.4" from a bipod prone. I was trying to decide what to take on my upcoming Wyoming pronghorn and mule deer hunt. Then I thought about the NZ animals taken and decided it was foolish to worry about the cartridge selection as the ELD X will do as well. Norma does have a new American Hunter 6.5 Creed load waiting to get on the boat from Sweden. Its a 130 Swift Sirocco II bullet. That'll be a very interesting load also as the 130 Sirocco II has been one of my favorite 6.5x55 hunting loads for pronghorn and deer hunting around the USA. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
