[QUOTE="Chandalar, post: 1006506, member: 28074"] I agree with this as well, I am hunting with a slightly different setup to have the flexibility to hunt for moose, sheep, and bears all at the same time with a bit of reach. I was using 200 grain Barnes LRX in a 300 Norma, 20" barrel and pushing the bullet at 2900-3000fps. Shot the sheep at 380 yards, high angle shot from below at 29deg., bullet went in low in the rib cage and exited out the back. I am not a "full mount" kind of hunter so it wasn't as big a deal that the cape was, admittedly very blood soaked. That said I respect those that are traveling considerable distances at great expense for the opportunity to hunt sheep, and want to take as perfect of a trophy home as possible. All the best, and if in the Fairbanks area please give me a shout. [/QUOTE]
