I saw some pics the other day of a moose this lady dropped with one shot from a 243.
So is there a 243 load that would work ethically and effectively on sheep?
Happy hunting :-D

Sheep are sissies when it comes to bullets.
Sheep die easy.Especially when using a 338WM.
I saw a .243 projectile bounce off a sheep once... I tucked tail and ran.
I swear I heard him say, ".260 or bigger b!tch"
Why so large? Go .223
300 Wsm 165
I just bought a 240 Weatherby that I plan to use for sheep and deer. Planning to use Barnes 80gr TTSX in it.
Sheep are pretty thin skinned, and like GG said, they're kinda sissies!
Most of the time the guys packing big calibers for sheep are either worried about bears or they're doing a mixed bag kinda thing.
A 243 would definitely do the job within reasonable distances, especially on thinhorns.
My brother killed a nuisance Bison on private property in Northern Alta,
using a .243 loaded with 60 grn hollow points.This was his Coyote load
and all he had at the time.One shot in the ear is all it took.
No I'm not advocating this as a proper load for Bison or any Big Game.
Just relating the story.
