[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1210352, member: 74902"] Nothing is cut and dry the days. My opinion is that your shot will not be within 100 yards. Also, though I'm not a sheep hunter, I've heard that it is best to drop them where they are, otherwise they can run off a cliff on you and be extremely difficult to retrieve. Also wind might be an issue at altitude. The best thing to do is be absolutely sure of your shot and know you can put the bullet where it counts. Under those circumstances a Berger sounds ideal. There is a fairly well accomplished sheep hunter from Alaska on here from there me to time. I wish he would chime in. He has actually had some Berger bullet failures on sheep! When I get some time I will look up some of his post and paste them in this thread for you. The only thing I've killed with a Berger was a black bear at 200 yards with a 210 VLD. It flat dropped it where it was without excessive hide damage. Killed lots more stuff with the Accubond and Partitions though... [/QUOTE]
