[QUOTE="ramrod79, post: 1584564, member: 58107"] Nothing wrong with a 6.5 in Grizz country last ram I shot was with 6.5 Sherman. I’m lucky I can hunt in a general sheep zone every season.The last couple years I used my 6.5 Sherman in the Castle country of Alberta. This country is the home of Griz in Alberta and did this without a worry. The way I see it is gun is either on pack or in scabbard on horse so it won’t matter what caliber I have. First ever Ram shot in same country 25 years ago with a 270 mountain rifle. Second ram shot with 300 WSM and 4th shot with my custom 260 rem. Then I was onto the 6.5 284 for a few years then my 65 Sherman witch did just fine. My Dad hunted sheep all over the country for years before he retired from it all he used was a 270. Personally after my one of my hunting partners was mauled a few years back caliber is not as important as awareness and Bear spray this is what saved his life as he never had a chance to raise his 300win mag for a shot. Just my thought tho. [/QUOTE]
