It is all about shot placement with Aoudads. And the fact that the kill zone is no where near where most hunters are used to with deer, elk and pronghorns. The Aoudad kill zone is much lower and further forward. Do your research, but you don't need a cannon to kill them at distance.

Lots of good council here. 15-20 yrs ago, I shot two near Llano, TX with 30-06 x 180 gr. They were both within 150 yds. Unfortunately one of them fell down a 70 foot granite crevasse and was unretrievable. Either rifle you have will do the trick with effective shot placement. If I were you, I'd probably be practicing with the 300 WM x 165 to 180 gr boolits. I'm sure some longish shots can present in NM.
