[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1211262, member: 25760"] First of all congrats on what could be a great hunt. Ibex are a goat and can take a bit of lead if not hit right. I would suggest no smaller than a .28 caliber and a 160 grain bullet. Ranges can be long. My ibex was about 400. My son's was a good deal further. At times the wind can really blow and less wind drift is a great thing. Lots of folks use a .300 WM especially for that reason. You could certainly use something lighter, but on a trip of a lifetime with a trophy I'd rather be over gunned than under gunned. I've been to Kyrg 2 times if you have any questions I may be able to help. Bruce [/QUOTE]
