[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 911422, member: 2460"] question for both Micheals ..... I intend to use the Amax bullet for Dall Sheep and Mt Goat in my 300 Norma based wildcat (sim to 300 Rum velocity) My goal is to anchor the animal DRT with a full on shoulder shot to prevent leaping off a cliff, around 18 years ago or so , I shot a nice Billy with 13" horns but he ran and jumped off a steep cliff 300+ feet straight down landed on his head and pulverized the skull and split open one of the horns, could not score the billy and no chance of putting the skull together for a mount, it was bone fragment mush I used a 300 Win Mag loaded with the original "Black Talon" 180 gr Fail Safe bullets pulled from factory loaded .30-06 ammo, my moose hunting load at the time , that worked great on large bull moose but was a terrible choice for a 400 yard shot on a Mt Goat my question is what would you use ... the 178 gr or 208 gr AMax ? specifically for shooting those two animals dead square on the shoulder at ranges from 100 yards out to 600 yards also what are your thoughts on the use of the Hornady 208 gr and 225 gr BTHP Match bullets for this application ?
