Don't over look the 150 Nosler BTBT.. When I loaded my last 06 ammo in 1982 I used 150 gr. Horn. SPBT's.. Had Nosler had theirs on the market, that would have been my choice.. If I ever load another batch of 06's I would probably go with the Nosler..

Antelope are easy, any 150 gr bullet is plenty. Heck I'd probably use Core-Lokts

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

I always take two rifles whenever I go big game hunting. You are traveling a long ways and you do not know what will happen.

If the slug fits an 06 barrel, it will kill pronghorn.
