I've taken them with a .243 Win, .257 Roberts, 270 Win, 264 Win Mag, 300 Win Mag, .338Win Mag and seen them taken with a 25-06, 30-06 and 300 WBY. The.264 and then the .270 are what I mostly carry now. Something to buck the wind and carry the mail out to pretty good distance. The problem with that idea is I don't think I have killed an antelope past 250 yards. The terrain I hunt in is broken up enough I can usually get close. My favorite way to hunt them was to use the terrain to get close and even low crawling (military guys will know) to get past little to no concealment and have been within a herd one time and within 25 yards on several occasions. The lighter rifles are great for that, but I did it once with the .264.

With older age and more limiting mobility coming on shooting at distance is becoming a better option so I'll stick with the .270, .264 and now a .257 WBY.

I had to come back to fix a mistake. The farthest was at 360 from the .270 Win.
