[QUOTE="ThorThor, post: 5614780, member: 12348"] Having killed 5 pronghorn in the last 7 years I can say they are easy to kill. It is really just a reason to buy another gun. First one I killed was with a heavy barrel 308 in az in 2016 but after that experience, windy and missed at 550 yards, and no there was no getting closer… I bought a custom 7mm ultra mag with a 8 twist barrel and I shoot 195 bergers at 3100, it shoots half moa. Anything inside 1000 yards is in real trouble depending on wind. Weight is really not a big issue in pronghorn country your not climbing mountains and a little weight makes long shots much easier. You want high Bc bullets and speed to deal with wind, but that is only an issue after 250 ish yards. Nothing wrong with 6.5 creed and ammo is almost half the cost of prc. The new 7mm prc would make a great everything gun and will always be available due to it being a hornady round. Those heavy 7mm bullets have the best BC available. [/QUOTE]
