In the last 45 years of Antelope Hunting I have used Rifles in at least 15 calibers to kill Antelope.
Let me list them for you:
22-250 Remington
220 Swift
243 Winchester
6mm Remington
6mm Remington Ackley Improved
240 Weatherby
257 Roberts
25/06 Remington
270 Winchester
7mm Express
280 Remington
7mm Remington Magnum
308 Winchester
30/06
300 Winchester Magnum
My last Antelope was harvested with my Remington Model 700 Sendero in 270 Winchester.
I use the pointy flat flying Nosler 130 grain Ballistic Tips to Hunt on public lands (i.e. long range!) with this Sendero.
Lot of recoil in that 300 RUM with 180 grain bullets - that may slightly hamper your shot assessment?
My recommendation would be a 25/06 to 270'ish Rifle with lots of scope power (minimum 4x16) and flat flying Ballistic Tip bullets.
Good luck with getting a tag in 2,016!

Wouldn't that be 14 different cartridges, since the 280 and 7mm Express are the same, in 6 different calibers?
