Clarkm;
Congratulations on your pronghorn sir, it's something I've always wanted to hunt and never got around to it somehow.

With the understanding that I don't possess pressure testing equipment and am not commenting on your specific loads, I must in all good conscience let you know that the Browning/Winchester actions are emphatically not unbreakable.

As evidence of that I'll offer these couple thousand words.....

Anyway sir, the chap shooting that B78 did escape with minor abrasions and lacerations, but not all may be that lucky is all I'm saying.

Again my congratulations on your pronghorn and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall.
