Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Triple Seven Antelope

I just returned from my first Antelope hunt and was rewarded with a great hunt.We were hunting on public land the animals were very jumpy.My hunting partner and I tried to stalk a small group of Antelope but were unable to close the gap to less than 777 yards. As my partner read the yardage I took a wind reading and dialed in one moa of wind correction and twelve and three quarters moa elevation adjustment.I was prone shooting off a bipod,as I concentrated on the sight picture so intently that when the trigger broke I was surprised.Iwas able to get back in the scope in time to see the Antelope collaspe straight down.I was shooting a custom made 300 win mag with a Nightforce 3.5X15 with the NP-R2 reticle and 180 grian TXS

Great hunt! How'd u like the performance of the bullet at that range??

Performanc of the bullet seemed to be identicle to one taken at 275 yards small entrance hole quarter size exit and mush in between

HOLY CRAP!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
I saw the "777" thread title and figured " Cool. a long range BPCR kill!" And when I saw "twelve minutes of elevation" and "cross sticks" and "scope" I went bonkers!!

THEN I realized it was 777 yards, NOT BP substitute! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

However, that does not make it any less a feat and that is a fine shot, for sure, congratulations!

Great distance and wind doping to your parntner , BTW!
