[QUOTE="UnkleBuck, post: 2192785, member: 113444"] Congrats, coming from a sheep hunting and ELR background you are bang on, they are hardy animals and the ranges along with with the wind can get up there. In a .264 cal I’d definitely go with 140,144,156 Berger’s. IMHO, because of the above mentioned obstacles you have to overcome I’d go with more horsepower and payload. Any magnum 7mm with 184,190 grains minimum. Any .308 cal mag with 215,230 Berger’s, or my go to .338 Edge 300gr OTM’s. Realistically any 338 will do the job. My experience with hunting those high peaks is the wind will be you worst enemy. Delivering a round on target at longer ranges can be at the best of times a nightmare. You need heavy grain and high BC bullets. You want accurate hard hitting stopping power and penetration. And a lot of trigger time honing your craft. Good luck, and don’t forget to put in a lot of treadmill time! LOL! [/QUOTE]
