RE: .338 for antelope
Goose,
Me!,Me! I have!,I have! and it works GREAT!!!!.I have had less meat damage with my .338 win Mag on antelope than with a 30-06,270, 25-06 or .243
True they are not hard to bring down I have killed antelop with .223,22-250,220 Swift,.243,25-06,257 Rob.,250 Savage,6mm Rem,260 Rem.6.5x55 Swiss,270 win and short,7mag,280 rem,30-30,308,300 Savage,the various 300 Magnums,30-06,.338 win mag and the .338 Ultra mag.
I used the 210 NP on the ones me and my uncle shot,dropped them like a rock.
I'm going to use my .458 Win Mag this year with 300 gr Hornady Spire points.Thats going to be a fun hunt,I have 4 goat tags 1 either sex and 3 doe tags.

I've used a 338WinMag and it worked quite well. As a matter of fact it was a LOT of fun.That wasone serious arse whoopin'on impact.
Meat damage was minor compared to the ultra velocity stuff.
BBJ, 458 Winnies on antelope eh?
That is a little bit outside of the box....
Ought to be a real hoot.
