What caliber would one use for camel:
- minimum allowed by law
- recommended (OK: found this)
- most common?




Most camels would be shot with calibres in the .270 to .300 range.

Don't know of any minimum legal requirements, some states have recommended minimums eg NSW (not sure if they list camels).

Quote:

There is never a reason not to use premium bullets, but are they needed or is a standard soft point OK? Are solids allowed by law?




A good soft point would be the answer, with the projectile not too fragile.

Quote:

What kinds of shooting distances can one expect? The previous discussions on this seem to indicate long(ish). Does this depend on the hunting area, or are they all about the same?

How much does a camel weight?

What about for donkeys: caliber minimum and recommended?
And horse? Not that I'd ever want to shoot a horse (nor a donkey), but I'm curious and walking back from lunch today in -18 degrees I was thinking of potential vacation locations.




From the usual distances to longish shots, as the hunting might be done in open country. Obviously the less adequate the calibre, the shorter the distance should be, or more precise shots taken.

As for feral horses, they aren't that hard to kill.
