[QUOTE="CLICKBANGBANG, post: 1305908, member: 28472"] I'll be using a 7mm RM in the fall this year shooting a 160 grain TTSX. Aoudad is at the top of the class 2 Safari animal, and right at the bottom of the class 3 (see first two links). African animals tend not to die as fast as our New World big game animals. If you are in SW TX and really steep country, you could risk having the animal fall (second video). At worse, the sheep gets itself in an unaccessible area of the cliff side, and you lose it. I've heard it recommended to hit them a hair high to break the shoulder for this reason. This is where you'd want a stout bullet. They aren't bullet proof, but they have a heavy bone structure. Aoudad aren't as light as a pronghorn or deer. The sheep falling isn't near as big of an issue if you are hunting a much flatter piece of property. But watch the first and third videos. That is the kind of country I'll be hunting in. I can't wait to get out there. :) [url=http://www.chuckhawks.com/cxp2_safari_cartridges.htm]African Safari Cartridges: Class 2 Game[/url] [url=http://www.chuckhawks.com/cxp3_safari_cartridges.htm]African Safari Cartridges: Class 3 Game[/url] [ame]https://youtu.be/9JV0XZtHbSg[/ame] [ame]https://youtu.be/oQr0TpUoKHc[/ame] [ame]https://youtu.be/gIIeLgx0tVU[/ame] [/QUOTE]
