Why would you use a bullet weight designed for deer/elk sized game? Just curious as antelope are on my bucket list along with whitetail.


Wind ... Plus the fact of possibly having a great shooting/performing load with the 165 AccuBond that would suffice for other big game like Elk, muleys, black bear, etc. Not having to come up with a new load for future hunts would be a great benefit!
