[QUOTE="John McLaughlin, post: 2053121, member: 107220"] I've been on three sheep hunts where the possibility of making the acquaintance of grizzly bears was very real. I watched one big boar go after stone sheep far above timberline. If there had been a legal ram in the group it might have gotten up close and personal. I was using my standard sheep gun, 270 Weatherby Mag pushing 140 gr Winchester Failsafe bullets @ 3300 fps. I was about 200 yards from the bruin and I didn't feel under gunned at all. If I was parting the brush with my rifle barrel, not so much. If there was a chance of being in the thick stuff I would use my 340 Weatherby pushing 250 gr Partitions @ 3050 fps or even my 375 H&H pushing 299 gr Shock Hammers @ 2670 fps. Each rifle will kill sheep out to 350 yards. JM [/QUOTE]
