I took the old red pad No. 1 out for an antelope trip earlier this week. It's chambered in 270 Win and shoots the 110 grain TTSX into really small holes at 3330 fps.

I ranged him at 387 yards in 20 MPH winds as he quartered away from me and tried to put a TTSX through his last rib but the wind caught it and it broke his neck.

Here's the gun, buck and hunter:

Nice.

That was a good shot. Saw a good bud shoot one almost as good with a .270 Sendaro at about the same distance. He knew the trajectory and held over just enough to drop a 130 NPT in the boiler room.

Good hunt, good post, and very nice photo (both). Thank you.

I find it interesting to see hunting conditions and game from other parts of the country. And I though 'goat', was mis-spelled 'gloat'. But 'goat' you say.
