[QUOTE="sportmuaythai, post: 544619, member: 17802"] Dear Youngtrout, when I read your post, my immediate thought was why is this guy asking questions? I've hunted Alaska three times, and have harvested dall sheep in Yukon, but you live there in Alaska. You sound like you already know all the answers. Then you finally asked [U] 7saum???[/U] and I knew that you're a confused kid in a toy store. I firmly believe in shooting the smallest caliber that will get the job done. Your original interest was in 260, and that coincides with my choice for sheep and caribou. I'm also surprised that you are thinking woodstock. I've never hunted any where as wet as Alaska. My choice would be synthetic stock with ss barrel. [U]super lightweight 7-08 of a buddies, he did (and I) shoot it great to 200 or so but after that the gun really opened up, not discounting the fact that it could be the load too, but at ranges past 300 that gun was just hard to hold well[/U] I've read some where that twist rate, bullet's weight and velocity effect the bullet's ability to hold its path. So when the velocity is there, it's accurate. But when it drops speed, it may start to go like a screw thread. I'm still new at this LR thing, so your question may be answered here by gurus. BTW I just love muzzle brakes. , [/QUOTE]
