It was the last morning of our aoudad hunt on the Cibolo Creek Ranch in southwestern Texas, in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert, and we were definitely having trouble getting close to a ram.

From the older .35 Winchester, .35 Newton and .35 Remington released after the turn of the 20th century, to the .358 Winchester—based on the .308 Winchester case—and the .350 Remington Magnum, of the mid-20th century, there have been plenty of choices.
