[QUOTE="david k., post: 5595238, member: 10555"] It doesn't take much to kill an antelope...I've killed several with my old Ruger M77 243....any of the rounds you're considering will smoke them. On my first antelope hunt, in the early 1990's, I whiffed on a couple as well so I don't mean to be rude but what was the cause of your "pitiful shooting" last year? My first several hunts were in the 'pre-rangefinder' days so, for me, it was a combination of range estimation and the lack of practice being able to get set up quickly enough to shoot prone using my back-pack as a rest. I was simply too slow getting set up and then I'd rush shots. Good luck with it....I think there may be no hunting that is more fun than antelope. [/QUOTE]
