Another Aoudad question...

[TexMax]

I killed my elk dead in his tracks with these 180 gr ballistic tips. Didn't even twitch after he hit the ground.

Indians chased em down with spears (maybe that was buffalo )


Doesn't make it your best option

30-06 is plenty big

If you want to kill the animal either is more than enough. Put one in the boiler room as you would with a bow and it will be DEAD within 50 yards. Seen a few run off and not be found before the buzzards got there. All of those were "break the shoulder" shots. They are some tough SOB's but arent immune to the boiler room being shredded with hot lead.

If you hit neck, spine or the nerves in the center of the shoulder almost anything will drop with any bullets. I never said they wouldn't kill the aoudad, but if I were you I would not use them. They don't bleed much and if you don't hit a bone or something hard, you will have a .30 caliber hole going all the way through and that not much to bleed out by. A bullet that mushrooms real big and tears a nasty gash is better than a pin hole all the way through imo. Personally, I would rather have a bullet bust a shoulder, tear a nasty hole through the lungs and smash the off shoulder and stop right under the hide after it expended all of its energy inside the animal. I haven't seen a ballistic tip that will do that. If you are comfortable shooting them, go for it. Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing some LDP's of a monster ram. Not trying to tell you what to do, just what I would do.

Wife shot hers with a .25-06 and winchester 90grain Positive Expanding Points square in the sholder. He didnt take a step.

can go wrong with a 30-.06.

Shot mine with 25-06 ballistic tip went 10yds. Shot lots of deer with it too. That gun is a tack driver. Lost one deer with it and lost all confidence. Went to a 270 and have killed a lot of deer with it. The first one I loose with that will go to a 300. The first one I loose with that I'll go to a......

My wife will be rocking her.223 and 55gr Barnes Triple Shocks on her hunt in March

Just sayin'

I agree! I would not shoot any big game w ballistic tips! I have hunted places that would not allow them because of the percent of animals that are lost.
