I busted a feral X mouflon hybrid with a .270 130gr. Fed Fusion ammo. My one complaint was lack of expansion. The ram slipped in close, and came out from behind trees & rocks at 25-30yds.


At that range the first shot just punched a hole between the ribs on both sides. The second shot in his shoulder at stoned him dead. He was facing left, and hit the ground facing right.


But, to be fair, I'm not sure any bullet would've expanded well at archery distances. I've taken 3 other sheep with the same bullet at longer ranges. BUT... Hornady SSTs = death ray
