Favorite Pronghorn round ?
Probably not, but WY has a minimum bullet weight of 60 grains if you use one there.- antelopedundee

Sons First Elk Rifle - Poll
LOL. I knew there were a lot of threads on it, heck, I think I've even posted a thread about this before. It's a paralysis by analysis thing for me. I should have bought something for him last year but we kept the .223 one more year for deer. One guy I talked to had a .243 Kimber Montana... -

First attempt at “long range” shooting.
My match rifle started out as Remington 700 5-R in 308. Scope is a Bushnell 3.5-21 DMR. I added bottom metal so I could use 10 round mags and put in a Rilfe Basix trigger and shot it for a couple of years. There wasn’t a Tactical Division , 223/308, then so I figured out pretty quick the 308... -
Any comments on 300 Weatherby Mag?
After wanting a .300 Weatherby for 40 some years, I finally bought one in 2009. I immediately re-stocked it in a AA Fancy walnut stock that fits me, is pillar and glass bedded, free floated the barrel, and had a KDF muzzle brake installed on it. It shoots a variety of 168 and 180 grain bullets... -

.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
Thanks for the info. Whats the minimum grain you'd use with a .243 for a big buck? -
smaller caliber gun coyote, javelina, coues deer
Yep, dozens of deer/antelope have fallen to either a 22-250 or 223 here as well. I know a few others that have done a lot of clean killing with a 22 CF. Out of easily 50+, I lost one very large mule deer buck back in the 80s (high school) that I never did recover. That one still haunts me to...- FAIR CHASE

Favorite Pronghorn round ?
Im new to this sight. Its awsome! This is my first post (hope i dont screw it up). I hunt south east MT antelope. I have always shot them with my 30-06. Except for the time I shot a buck at 250 yrds with my 223. The trick to antelope hunting is not the round you drop them with, but how you take... -

Favorite Pronghorn round ?
I've used my Browning A bolt in 270 Win. with 140 grain Bergers, another A bolt in 223 WSSM with 64 grain Power Points, and a Weatherby Vanguard in 30/06 with 180 grain Sierra Pro Hunters. They all worked just fine, but of those I don't think you can beat the 270 Winchester with a 140 grain...- Washington Hunter

.243 manufacturers, any recommendations?
For recoil sensitive folks the 3006 is not a good choice even with light loads in my opinion. Actual recoil is a simple physics relationship between the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, the mass of the powder, the velocity of the powder and the weight of the gun. So in fact a 80...- VikingsGuy

What's a good long range rifle out of the box?
What you plan to hunt and what your distance limit will be should dictate caliber. For deer and antelope at 700 and in I’d look at a 260, 6.5 creed, or 6.5x55. Only reason I would look at a magnum is if you’re going to chase elk. If you dont want hunt at all with it, I’d look at a .223 with a... -

Who uses an AR style rifle for hunting?
I'm glad someone got around to mentioning the 6.5 Grendel. I don't own one yet but it will be my next AR build whenever funds allow. I don't hunt with one because I got started on bolt guns a long time ago. But if I was one of these new "adult onset" hunters I would start with the AR... -
youth caliber
Son killed two WTs at 6 with a single shot .223. At 7, he moved up to a Ruger Compact .308. That year, he killed 9 WTs (DMAP tags). We started with reduced recoil loads. Mid-season, I gave him regular loads and he never noticed. At around 14, he got a 257 WBY Magnum. At 19, he’s killed around... -

open, peep, foxed or variable
I like open sight's but not my choice for a hunting rifle. Beside's that my old eye's just don't work as well as they did in my prime. Using fixed sights you have three focus point's, rear sight, front sight and target, no one's eyes can focus on three point's at the dame time. The cross wires...- Don Fischer

Powder Recommendations
OP I'm partial to H4895 in several different cartridges. I have a 22-250 and a 260 Rem that likes it a lot. Also good in 30-30 and 223. Guys above who recommended IMR4350 and 165 grain bullets are spot on. I use the CCI 250 mag primer in my loads and have killed a handful of deer DRT with...- Focus

Brody's Wyoming Antelope (pic heavy)
Last fall I asked a client's son if he wanted to go antelope hunting in Wyoming. Brody is 12 years old and lives on a dairy farm. He accepted the invite. The trip would be VERY SHORT. We would hunt a ranch in eastern Wyoming and the season opened on Sept 24th (a Sunday). We would need to be...- pointingdogsrule

youth caliber
I started out with a 243 when I was 11. I shot a bunch of deer and antelope with it along with a couple elk at 12 and 13. I "upgraded" to the 270 for a couple season, then to the 7mag a couple years after along with about a dozen other calibers. The 243 is quite versatile for medium game and... -

Not picking on this guy but just another my kid did! Lot of people go this way about cartridge's for young people. No doubt there are some kids that can handle more recoil, just like some big kid's can handle more recoil. But I don't think putting more recoil than necessary in a young kids hands...- Don Fischer
