[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1468050, member: 27307"] By that same logic then, my 8 lb. 338 Norma Mag will cruise right past that at nearly 2,100 ft/lbs at the 800 yard mark with 250 grain Berger. Now we enter the discussion of diminishing returns as to just how far we push this envelop to make a point. Any of the cartridges suggested will make a fine sheep rifle with the recoil being subjective as to the shooter's ability to handle the rifle/cartridge/bullet combination. Muzzle brakes can be a blessing for some who enjoy less recoil but then a suppressor will work also but add more weight and barrel length. The combinations between cartridges, bullets and rifle weight are nearly endless with a fairly large sampling which will be excellent choices for a sheep rifle. No one combination should be considered the absolute 'best' as it will vary by the shooter. The broader the discussion, the better the information the hunter has to choose from. Enjoy the process!
