Awesome hunt in Wyoming once again! I think antelope has turned into my favorite animal to hunt. I just got the 6.5 CM from my gunsmith less than 3 weeks before I left for my hunt so I did some quick load development and rolled with it. 258 yards was a chip shot with this rifle! Berger 130 VLD-H did the trick. Can't wait to go back. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z434/REDVANES/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpse7ahzvej.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z434/REDVANES/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsq3xj4ysa.jpeg)

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Super Creed/speed goat. Bet he'll go in the 80's. I missed one about that good in the Kiowa Grasslands of NM. But, that was before I got my Creed. All I had at the time was an HS Precision .240 Wby...   How did the 130 VLD H expand, perform? DF

After I shot, I quickly found him again through the scope. He stood only for a few seconds before collapsing but the blood pouring out of him was unreal! Heart shot him so that's about what you would expect. Dime going in and a quarter coming out. Was hoping to recover the bullet but I wasn't really counting on it since they're not a real big animal anyways. Super Creed/speed goat. Bet he'll go in the 80's.

Do you do your antelope hunting there in Oregon? Sure do!! We have some really great antelope hunting, the only problem is even as a resident it takes around 12 or 13+ preference points to draw a decent tag. The better units take 15+ points so it can be a long wait between hunts. I feed my addiction though by going to Wyoming!!
