IMG_20130914_083744_187.jpgBoth my son and I cleanly harvested our doe antelope last weekend. What was our medicine? Mine was my shillen barreled model 70 in 7mm08 and my son's Browning A bolt in 7mm08. Both stoked with Varget and 140 Ballistic Tips. Mine was one single shot at 421 yards. Son managed to get closer....240 yards one shot and clean harvest. It was his first animal and both of us first antelope. We had a great time and spent great time together with the oldest kids.
 
SWEET! Very nice. Sounds like a great hunt. Awesome performance as well. Looking forward to pictures.
 
Congratulations on a fine hunt. The 140 BT is an excellent bullet in standard cartridges.
 
I have always used the 120 gr in the 7mm-08. Either works great. Congrats.
 
Congrats to you and your son!

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic Tips for deer & antelope size game!

I am really tempted to load some of the 120 BT's in my son's 7mm Mauser..
 
Congratulations, way to go.
The 7mm 140 gr BT is a great bullet for deer and antelope.

They work great! Impact on a buck at over 3000 fps from 7mm -08. Found under far hide.



 
My buddy's son shot his first bear last night with a 140 gr BT from his 280 Remington.
The bear weighed 200 lbs and went 25 yds.

Congrats! I picked up a box of these for when I begin reloading my 7mm08 in the future.
 
Edited to add a photo of my son's young goat in the original post. Now this one has my goat with three of the kids.

It is always a great thing to see young men and women introduced to hunting. The pictures bring a smile to my face.
