Looking for advice on a pronghorn/mule deer setup....

[westside103147]

Stopped by the gun shop on my way home today and ended up leaving with a Winchester Model 70 extreme weather on 270wsm, I guess my tax fefund was burning a hole in my pocket. Now I just have to find some good glass! Can't wait to start doing some load development!

Thanks for all the advice!

Excellent!

I have been playing with a round for the wife using the 110 Barnes TTSX.  Getting close to 257 Wby speeds and very light recoil.  Not sure how it is going to hold up to wind yet, but so far it has been really impressive out to 400 yards.  I expect the Barnes will reach it's limit on small antelope size animals around 450-500.  Should be a meat saver compared to my normal Accubond and SST.

Congrats! Great cartridge.

Either a .257 Rbts. or a 7x57.....both classics.

I have been hunting deer/antelope in Wyoming the past 4 years and always carried either a 06 or .270......I just bought a Weatherby .257 Mag and am very excited to give it a whirl this year.......

6.5x284 Norma in a Savage 116 Weather Warrior. Me & a buddy both have one and they are ultra accurate with handloads well beyond 500 yds. If you don't handload my choice would be a 7 mag or 270 wsm in what ever brand rifle your wallet affords you.

How about a picture of that new rifle  Also what kind of glass are you putting on it?

While I've never hunted speed goats my old hunting partner (RIP) did quite a bit, used the same rifle for Muley's too.  When he passed it was handed down to me.

Winchester Model 70 .300 Win Mag shooting 165grn Nosler Boat Tail Ballistic Tip with a Leupold 3-9.  He took Pronghorns past 500yards a number of times.

If you're concerned about factory ammo prices, a 270 Win, 308 Win or 30-06 would serve the purpose for speed goats and muleys.

I've used that same combination before, and believe it will kill pronghorns cleanly as far as you can shoot them.

I just saw ammo for all three of those at Walmart yesterday for 19 something per box. And really, any of those three is all anyone ever needs for any hunting you will do in North America.
