[QUOTE="Marky_mark, post: 2866288, member: 113618"] Velocity The advantage of the magnums is less drop and less wind. If the animals move and you don’t have a chance to re range. It will make a difference. Lots of advantages for the magnums. The other thing is you only need one shot. You’re not shooting a 5 shot group. You’re setting up and focusing on one single shot. Since those cartridges have been developed, they have been made in sheep rifles. Are they the best choice? I don’t think so. Are they the worst, if you’re not comfortable shooting them, 100% they can be. I’ve taken a 338 rum on a backpack alpine hunt before. Why? Because everything I shot with it died instantly… that was with 250 gr accubonds too. If you’re not comfortable shooting your rifle, no matter what it is, you’re in trouble. [/QUOTE]
