6 Creedmoor for Desert Bighorn

[Huntnful]

Visible exit is several inches higher than the entrance. Steep sheep shot...

Awesome! That's a dandy exit hole for sure.

Sheep are thin skinned and are fairly easy to kill when hit in the vitals. I'm sure that combo would work. My question to you is this. It's $40-70K for a desert bighorn hunt. The only chance you have at the biggest ram in the unit is 600 yds with a 15 mph wind. Do you want a 103 grain bullet bucking the wind or something bigger? Personally I want/need every edge I can get and would go to a bigger caliber rifle and bullet. Your money and your choice.

A better response than this, I'd love to hear!

Unless the hunter is blessed with the "Riches of Solomon" and has a 4 Leaf Clover guaranteeing more licenses…..there are much better choices!

Addendum: I should started reading the posts on page 11! memtb

Congratulations on an awesome Ram !
I looked back at first couple pages and couldn't find what state you shot him in. Arizona or California? Maybe Nevada? I don't remember. Sorry.

How about the fact the the person you quoted doesn't understand what effects bullet wind drift.
