Great question! I just purchased my first rifle a few months ago and was determined to go on my first elk hunt this year. My elk hunt was derailed by a pronghorn instead which I’m 100 excited for.Hey guys!
Long story short, I have a 300 win mag that I’m scared to take on my antelope hunt, I think it’s too much gun. Does anyone hunt with a 300 win mag? And what are the most popular calibers out there for pronghorn?
I went with a 7mm rem mag because I was concerned about the 300 win mag. My reseach has lead me to believe a 7mm or 300win mag are just fine for pronghorn. I believe it’s more a matter of shot placement.
My question to you is do you go with a larger grain bullet or a smaller one? Would would a smaller grain bullet pass through the animal not damaging as much tissue? Would a heavier grain take the front shoulder of?
