Sheep caliber

[Cat catcher]

What is everyone preferred sheep caliber? I was think of a 25-06, any recommendations?

[Gateholio]

Sure. Anything that shoots reasonably flat and will kill a deer will work for sheep. .308, 7-08, 270, 30-06 25-06, 7RM etc etc

X2 what Gate says
but a 270win is kind of a historical sheep caliber, just ask my Uncle Jack

Im going give the 6.5-300 Wby a try, should qualify for a good sheep cartridge !

I'll be using my 300 rum this season with 200gr ELD-x bullets. My backup rifle will be an old school brno 7x57 shooting 168gr accubond long range bullets or a 6.5 creedmoore if it ever arrives.

I have killed three with a 300 win mag. Seems to work fine.

First dibs on the 6.5 creed more when you sell it a month after you get it.

Hmm never had a sheep I wanted for the wall not fall to the .270..yes too many Jack O'Connor stories..140 gr Hornady boat tail ..not a great bullet..certainly not premium..but shoots flat and animals go dead after an a encounter...I like it in a browning that was customized accurized at Alberta Tactical under Ricks magical touch.topped off with leupold with boone and crocket reticle...my go to deer, pronghorn, whitetail , goat, dall, stone, cali, rocky medicine..

My avtar above shows yet another completely happy one shot customer..lol
