[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2718511, member: 7999"] We shot our audad last year with 6.5 RPM's. I shot mine with the 115 Power Hammer and Brian shot his with the 134g Power Hammer. Mine was about 100y, centered the shoulders and dropped to the shot. Brian's was about 150y, 1st shot too far back but he only went about 30y and held up in the thick. Second shot on the point of the shoulder at about 100y and dropped him. The poor shot was very telling since he could not muster the energy to leave with the herd. They are not a big animal but very dense and have that African toughness. If I were not testing bullets and shooting a 6.5 PRC I would load the 124g Hammer Hunter. We are running these north of 3400 fsp very nicely. This makes an easy 700y combo and more if needed. The 124g Hammer Hunter can handle shoulders or odd angles without trouble. I am confident that you will see better terminal performance from the 124g Hammer Hunter at over 3400 fps than anything else mentioned. As others have said, run what gives you confidence. Confidence should not be overlooked. [/QUOTE]
