[QUOTE="Bughole, post: 1006097, member: 40718"] You hit a sheep with anything and its effective. On my first Dall hunt I carried a 270 WSM with 130's. Ideal sheep medicine. Then we had several bear incidents. We were in the NWT. After that hunt I decided that I would carry a rifle with a heavier bullet for safety reasons. You wont have time to switch rounds so you need something that has good ranging abilities and penetration abilities. I set a 3oo wsm and use barnes 168 ttsx. They will range effectively to 600 yds and are perfect if you need to defend y0ourself and camp.. I know bear attacks are rare but if you experience one you will change your mind on peashooters. I also have a 7rum set up for 180 gr bullets but its slightly heavy for sheep terrain. My 300 WSM is super correct for that purpose, built on an ed brown action, have a 23 1/2 inch barrel. I use a swarovski scope set up with their ballistic turret. First pin ar 250,then 350, then 450, and 550 yds. interpolate in between. works wonderful. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
