[QUOTE="PddPdd, post: 2387416, member: 111799"] I shoot a Fierce in 28 Nosler with a 1:9 twist rate as well In terms of bullet stability, higher velocity should give you more stability not less. Lighter bullets equate to higher velocities so I think you are on the right track. I've heard of people having issues with lead cup/core bullets coming apart when pushed to high velocities with a fast twist rate barrel. From my reading, mono metal bullets should not be as likely to come apart as lead cup/core bullets in high twist rate barrels coupled with high velocities. What is the range you are comfortable shooting or need to be comfortable with for this hunt? I'm currently developing ~140 grain mono metal loads for my 28 Nosler for elk/deer hunts and I don't have any concerns about knock down energy.. I'm currently getting around 3450 fps muzzle velocity but I'm not done with load development yet. The latest powder I've tried is H4831SC and it's hitting .5 MOA groups out to 200 yards so far. I haven't hunted sheep but I would think your rifle/caliber choice would be fine with the right loads. [/QUOTE]
