I have a Grand Slam, a free-range aoudad, and a mountain goat on my wall.

I took the Stone with one shot at 200+ yds with the 7mmRM and the 140 NPT. Same with the aoudad, at 180 yds. The goat was taken at a bit over 100 yards with the 160 NPT.

Sheep are not difficult to kill; I'd say that most are born looking for a place to die. Caribou too. I took my Rocky Mnt ram with a 140 NBT from a .284 ULA, the dall with a 150 NPT from a .30-06, and the desert with a 120 NPT from a .25-06.

To be perfectly honest, all the above bullets worked just fine. I'd let your rifle choose its favorite bullet. Then go hunting.


I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
