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.

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.

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