D. I have mostly used 63 gr Sierra's or 64 gr. WW.. The old Sierra 55 gr. HPBT has killed a bunch.. I dont do fast twist.. 1-12 is about as tight as I go..

I've never been prong horn hunting, but judging by their size I would say anything from .224 to .308 caliber would work well with 24s, 25s, and 26s, being about perfect.
However for me, the .270 Winchester would be my first choice simply because I love it.

Not so hard to kill, sometimes not so easy to hit.

[quote=Mule Deer]Jim Knight,
Over the years I've run into a few other people like you, who absolutely hate the taste of pronghorn meat even when everybody else eating it really likes it. A number of years ago I began to suspect that pronghorn meat contains some chemical that only a few people's taste buds react to--much like cilantro. To most people cilantro tastes fine, but to some people it tastes like soap.
That's crossed my mind before, as so many out here ( and especially WY) really like the stuff! ha. I love hunting them for sure and its very affordable to draw a doe tag out here. Pretty little things!

I’ve heard of people just firing the creedless into the air and all the animals within hearing distance of it would just fall dead.

One was still breathing, moving his head (hit with .270) Guide finished him off with a .22 WMR Ruger revolver. All the rest were DOA when we got to them. Easier to kill than to hit. DF

DF I've heard of CBHS cases so bad that a mention of the Creedmoor sends the sufferer scurrying to the store for a fresh tube of Preparation H.
