[Nosferatu]

All of them.

Thin skinned, huge lungs. Not a particularly hard animal to put down.

Anything from .223 to a big magnum. Shoot what you have confidence in and know your limitations is the most important thing

Like the greatest pronghorn caliber ever.

.243 Win. Make sure to call it a .24 bore for cred though.. the .25 boys love it!

30-06 works great but a bit overkill. I really enjoyed using my .257 Roberts. Milder recoil and not as loud.

Some guys like bigger rounds for shooting "way yonder". I don't because then you have to walk out "way yonder" and back.

Thats like wanting cred but stopping .010" short of it...

I have 14 antelope points, if I ever draw a tag I will use the .270 W.S.M. !

Another vote for 25-06.

Dad took his one antelope after waiting 10 years for a tag. With his Winchester model 1895 rifle in 30-40gov. Using a 150grain spire point took it at 155 paces it moved less then 10ft from the point of contact.

I have 19 points, I'll probably just use my 22-250. I've spent more time with that gun than I did my first ex wife!

You ain't doing it right if you're not using a 50 BMG.
