7mm PRC is SAAMI approved.

What distance were these llamas shot at? I understand they can be quiet spooky so somewhere around a kilometre I’m guessing

These game animals were shot at varying distances.

Bob Beck (Extreme Outer Limits) has also been testing these bullets on game animals in the field. Bob reports:

“We have made 3 kills with the bullets, and they perform extremely well. The animals were llamas, which are normally hard to kill. We took three shots from 10 ft, 500 yards and 1046 yards. All of the bullets expanded and killed immediately. One of the shots was a frontal which flipped the animal over completely!”

The 10 footer must have been hard to look the long-lashed llama in the face. Someone find that video on YouTube. I’ll make sure not to watch it.
 
“ ten feet! Light him up!”

*clicking of turret*

* pan to bubble level and 8-36x65 scope*


It takes a real outdoorsman to put the stalk on a llama, let alone get within ten yards of one. Maybe the hard part of killing them is finding someone willing to blast a domesticated animal in the shoulders for “ science”.

Maybe they are taking cues from CGN, one of our eastern brain trust members mentioned they sent it into a domesticated sheep’s shoulders with a 25-06 a while back, presumably to stop a charge :dancingbanana:

I think that 175 ELD-X at only 2925fps was will under its optimal expansion envelope at 1023 yards, I could be wrong though?

Hornady's calculator says 1623fps @1023 yards

That was bad. No doubt about it. These long range yahoos that shoot elk from the road are brutal. No one would post a YouTube video of a guy bailing from the truck and shooting an elk 50 yards off the road. Yet it is somehow different if he has time to lay down to do it? Pretty funny really.
 
I’m not going to lie, I’m just jealous I can’t afford a Christiansen arms and high end vortex for my trip to Peru. Probably just have to stick to an outdated caliber and try to stalk within 5 feet
 
I haven't shot any llamas but I did put a couple 7mm 195gr EOL through a small moose at 2500 fps impact speed. It died, but I won't use them again.
