[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 1180179, member: 21384"] Antelope aren't that hard to kill when hit right, I use my 22-250 with 80gr amax with no issues when hit in the heart/lungs inside 300 yards. I have killed them with my as issued 1903 Springfield built in 1909, full military configuration iron sights and all with a cast bullet hand load that was in the same ball park as a 30-30, at just under 70 yards. Last year I killed my buck with a muzzleloader wearing a 2-7x scope at 97 yards. The fun part about antelope hunting is the hunting. I see the appeal of shooting long but don't let anyone tell you it is a requirement for hunting antelope. Binoculars and spotting scopes are almost more important than the scope on your rifle when hunting out here. I have lived here for about 8 years now and have yet to kill a snake in Wyoming and I kill every rattlesnake I see. [/QUOTE]
