Got invited to go on lion hunt Saturday. We will be hunting with dogs so range shouldn’t be an issue. Trying to figure out what rifle to bring. The only lion I have shot in the past was at 300 yards. Wanting to make sure I don’t ruin the hide if we are lucky enough to find a big Tom. One of my boys will be the shooter this time!!
Caliber options are below with what bullets I have ready to go.
AR 223. 55 fmj, 55 tnt hp and 55 grain vmax
AR 6.5 Grendel 140 Berger vld, 130 sierra GK and 130 ELD-m
6.5 creedmoore same bullet options as the Grendel
25-06 117 Berger Vld
These are the lighter, smaller calibers that will be easier to pack that I have.
