Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Building a speed goat gun?

I've had a 6MM-06 for 12-13 years now and have taken Antelope, Sheep, Caribou, Mule Deer, White Tail and a bunch of Coyotes with it. I have a 1 in 10 twist, #2 contour, Douglas Stainless 24" barrel and a Brown Precision stock on a Rem 700 LH action.

I shoot 100 grain Nosler Partions @ 3270 fps using RL22 or 70 grain NBTs for Coyotes. With either load it's a 7/10 MOA rifle. You surely don't need anything more for Antelope.

I'd think about it some more before I threaded that heavy barrel on an Antelope rifle.
