Successful Wyoming Antelop
 

Got it at 500 yards with a Rem 700Mlr in .338 Lapua.

Yeah! :lifter

I've been trying to get outta here and go bowhunting for two days.

You guys are driving me crazy. :D

Nice take.

Imagine a .338 Lapua would drop an antelop right quick.

Nice shot. 500 yards is a long damn distance.

Yeah it will, mark46th actually missed it and the shockwave of the bullet passing dropped it.....;)

Nice animal! (I expect a hind quarter in the mail.....)

Yeah, it went down right now. When I field dressed it, the chest cavity looked like a bowl of cherry jello. TS, it'll have to be a loin or backstrap. I had the rest made into sausage. At the Dept of Wildlife game sheckpoint, the warden said it had the biggest horns of the 200 animals he had seen...

Severe hydrostatic shock?

Just curious what weight of bullet and velocity you were working with.

300gr Sierra Matchking over 93gr of Retumbo. I haven't chronied the load but it should be around 2800fps.

lol Mildly severe, yes.

Damn, and I thought this thread was gonna be about a successful antelope

Congrats,, Do you have more pics?? The rack looks impressive.. :lifter

At the game checkpoint, the game warden said it was the largest of the 200 animals he had seen. it was 14 inches high, width was 4 1/2 inches wide.

Very nice cutters on it.

Where did you take it? There are some fairly nice ones I've seen while surveying in NE Colorado, SE Wyoming.

We were in Unit 27, Central/Eastern Wyoming about 40 miles West of Newcastle. Here is a close-up of the Horns....
