Its all relative, but there is a marked difference in size between the sheep/goats and a maral!
My vote would be for something like a 6.5x284 if you don't mind dumping barrels every 750 shots or a 6.5RSAUM or 270WSM
JabaliHunter,
Have you used the 6.5RSAUM much?? If so, what have your results been..
Just read an article recently on a 6.5/280Ackley Improved...the article was very informative in regards to loads and other info...personally think the calibers in 6.5 are awesome...as you alluded to ..high BC and SD...great for long range work...plus easly to load for now that Norma is issuing 280Ackley brass---
Have a outfitter friend with a camp in northern British Columbia--hunts a lot of sheep as well as guides...he lovers is 6.5..although not sure what flavor he is currently using...
