I've only shot five antelope - they were all delicious by the way.

Two with the 25-06
Two with the 30-06
One with the 7mm Rem Mag

Each was on a combo mule deer - antelope hunt. Good stuff!

I've killed a few with .50 cal muzzleloaders in WY and ID, quite a few with a 7STW in WY, and a couple with a 30-338 in WY and ID. I'm sure I missed one or two in there but it's hard to remember since the vast majority were in the 1990's when it was actually fairly easy to draw tags.

257 Wby - ULW with a brake. This is by far the best antelope rifle I can imagine. Extremely accurate, minimal recoil, one-shot kills.
7mm Wby - can't shoot them all with the 257, and hits harder.
270 Win - used 2 different Vanguards.

Took a 243 Win, didn't end up shooting one.
Took a 7mm Rem, didn't end up shooting one.

Only one. Got tired of being rejected in Arizona's draw and ent to a guided hunt on a landowner permit. Got my "goat" in the first half hour of the first day of the hunt. Rifle was a .270 Win. I picked up at a gun show. A Winchester M70 XTR with what I learned was a factory installed McMillan stock in the same shape as the M70 Featherweights. Price with a fairly decent scope was $400.00 and I bought it on impulse. Took it out the next day to the range and ran some 150 gr. Power Points through it, four 5 shot groups to b exact. First group was slightly under a half inch and the last from a fairly hot barrel was .80" The other two groups were in the middle of one and last group. That rifle is a keeper.

The "goat" was shot with a 150 gr. Nosler Partition at about 75 yards after about a half mile sneak/talk. The charge was with the long discontinued Wincher Magnum Rifle powder. (WMR). Accuracy was in line with the factory ammo and velocity 2880 FPS. THat works for me.

That there is frontal area that hits with a whallop!
The penetration may be lacking, but the damage to the vitals is significant!
