I went from 300WM to 7mm Mag for elk and to 6.5CM for mule deer and antelope as the 6.5CM allowed me to practice more with less recoil. Any of these calibers will take down any of the animals I mentioned and then some. If I had to choose just one it would be the 7mm Mag.

I had DMR Rifles in Las Vegas build a 6.5CM with a Proof Barrel to my specs. Here's a nice video with the rifle details and a little bit about how I came up with this rifle. Hit me up if you have any questions.
Switching from the G7 to the 2400 was a great upgrade for me, mostly in portability while hunting. I was one of the first owners of a production model last January. Shortly afterwards there was a firmware upgrade that I sent it back to Sig for. I can't seem to find what the current FW version...
Something I've never quite been able to get a definitive answer on or photograph of is what exactly a "coulee" is. It seems to be a very common term but depending on who I ask and what state they live in I get varied answers. I've been out west for 14 years now and the "coulee" is elusive...
If you are moving to San Antonio you should get in touch with Dale Robinson with Evolved Ballistics, he's an avid long range hunter and competitor as well as one of the largest stocking dealers for Proof barrels and rifles. He's a great guy and has been of extraordinary help to me and I've done...
Until this past season I had always been shooting dead on at #4 and never had to hunt them down afterward, essentially they'd stumble and list a bit and tip over within a few steps using the 300 win mag and Barnes TTSX 180gr.
For the 2016 season I switched calibers to 7mm rem mag and 168 gr...
I'm game and love hunting and eating antelope! Unfortunately I only have 4 pref points in WY at this time. :-(
I'd love to know more about future hunts when the time is right.
Thanks!

Up until last season I hunted elk exclusively with a 300 win mag and Barnes 180gr TTSX. I loved hunting with that lightweight 4.5lb rifle but it beat me to death practicing at the range.
For 2016 I switched to the 7mm mag shooting 178 Hornady ELD-X handloads at 2912 fps.
This Nevada bull didn't...
We love antelope and I love antelope hunting. I'd be interested in a antelope group hunt.
I currently have four points in Wyoming for antelope, mule deer, elk and bison.
