I’m not looking to shoot farther than 250yds. Aoudad rarely cooperate. 30-06 by a mile. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Of all the insults, pot shots , snide remarks , and scoffs about what caliber to use is beyond belief. If I had to do it again, I think I could have just stayed with the 30-06 for deer and bear. Just IMR 4064 , 150 gr. and be done with it. I had 3 30-06 and sold them all . I dont know why, but most in our camp ended up with 270 WIn. so we all went the same though. I found some 06 with my .270 one opening day of gun season so I just decided not to use it anymore. I loaned my .270 Win to a 12 yr old boy. Shoots 2 deer in 2 yrs. HSowed him to track , and hunt. He in prison now.... At least I tried.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

I live in an area with the straightwall rule and most of my hunting time is spent with a 45 Raptor or 450 Bushmaster. I regularly shoot these cartridges out to 300 yards. I have also hunted aoudad.
The .451 and .452 bullets suffer from low BC and low sectional density (mostly at low velocity). This is not what you want for an aoudad hunt.
That 30-06 will work from point blank to as far away as you can reliably hit something. Grab your favorite 150-180 gr bullet and go kill one!

Just look up wind drift with a gentle 10 mph Breeze on a 450 at 200 yds.
