[QUOTE="drtony, post: 1604836, member: 106501"] I bought a used mark V Stainless in 300 weatherby magnum today-- should be here next week. I am still new to hunting and look on this forum often for good information. I will be hunting pronghorn and whitetail with it this fall. That being said, what would be an ideal cartridge for my first WY pronghorn hunt? I do not reload, but am willing to get custom ammunition until I have reloading equipment/supplies. I do not know enough about ammunition to make an informed decision. I would like a round that retains most of it's weight so meat loss isn't extreme. I've never hunted pronghorn, but I assume it'll be 100-600 yard ranges. I have some heavier gr rounds (180-210) but would that be overkill for antelope and whitetails? I was looking at: 125 gr nosler accubond (3500 fps) 150 gr nosler accubond (3400 fps) 165 gr nosler accubond (3300 fps) or Swift Scirocco II in 150 gr or 165 gr Open to any other ideas, but I do not have anything to reload my own yet-- so I need to be able to purchase the ammunition.
