What did THAT score?

Haven't scored it yet David. 14"horns, 5 1/2" bases, and 3 1/2 diggers. First antelope... Only measurements we did....I will measure when I get home...Was more impressed by my shot than the score yesterday. Four of us killed four antelope. 2 shots were 400 and two were 500 yards.

That's a great antelope...and a great shot too.  With any shot over 300 yards to me a geared-up 7mm is the only way to go.  What weight bullet and type were you shooting...140 grain?

I am going to post a short video in a few days. Gotta check with the producer and make sure it is OK.

The bullet was a 160 grain nosler partition. I have to get them hand loaded as Remington stopped making them. Scope is a Premier Reticle, and they too have been out of business. Hmmmmm..... maybe I am next to go out!

Going to score it before I drop it off at the taxidermist today. Brought the meat home too. Curious about that as well as they said it was very good eatting.
