I just recently used a Ruger .300 Win. on Barbary sheep.

I chose the Federal premium loaded with the Nosler Accubond 180gr.

I was expecting a long shot and had my chance on the first day. Sadly my shooting was not up to the task.

Fortunately on the 3rd day of the hunt we were able to outsmart a large group and stalked to within 120 yds. where I made the shot.

The 180 gr. Accubond entered the left front shoulder face on and was under the skin on the off side paunch area, about 30"s or so of penetration.

The recovered bullet weighs 162 grs.

I was very impressed that it held together at this velocity on such a tough animal.

Very accurate in my 77 also.

It will be my choice again for tough or long range hunts.
