Best Bullet for Sheep hunting

[Calif. Hunter]

Moosie - my experience with 150 gr Sierras is that they are not too tough. At least, they used to shed their jackets a lot, and that was from a .30-06 at about 2900-3000 FPS. It also happened with 100 gr in a .25-06 - blew apart on impact with a buck antelope's shoulder. Made a nasty wound and a long chase...

The 150 gr "should" work fine on a sheep at any decent range - I don't think you'll jump one at 50 yards.

Is with the rifle that you somehow appropriated at the deerstalkers dinner, yeah yeah I know it was a raffle,and didn't wylie win a shottie Mmm , it doesn't seem to shoot as well as your old one

LOL KIWI.. and Yes, It was the Gun. I'm really wondering about the Raffle though, I won the Rifle and then they talked me into being President of Deer Hunters of Idahop.. and Wylee won the Shotgun and I talked him into being MY Fidh and game Contact coordinator. I thnk it was a Unconsious bribe

HEll Kiwi, We can't all shoot as good as the Kiwi's and their pre civil war muskets

LOL, Post Civil war Oscar not pre, and nothing wrong with my 27/303 Lee Enfield anyway, that keyholing effect I get is just to make a bigger hole in the animals
