Down here in S.Texas where there's lots of them, and they are"bigger" than anywhere ,(other than the West Central Mexican coast), a 375 H&H is the bare minimum unless you are using a "Certified Chupacabra Guide". I personally use a 416 Rem. semi-auto with 528gr. Titatanium bullets, which I make myself, running 3674 fps. This is a very effective load if you hit them in the right spot. Hope this clears up any myths or misconceptions concerning this elusive critter. Happy Memorial Day, and thanks veterans. Yeah, that's fine for those little Texas chupacabras, but what do you use on the dreaded Anarctic heffalump?

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Will a Kimber Montana in 30/06 kill a chupacabra? If so how far? Do you have to use a Berger,or will a TTSX be OK? Just wondering.
No. The bullet does not matter. The cartridge will only work in a M70.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
