Bullet blowup on an Antelope?
If I had not seen it with my own two eyes I would not have believed it either. I do not know who makes or made the bullets for Federal Classic ammo. I can only remember they were 130-grain bullets. This happened a few years ago. I ain't lying to you guys. Just telling you what happened. The second shot entered about 2 to 3-inches behind the front shoulder. I can not remember if it left an exit hole? IMHO The second bullet did its job. The antelope would have died without the third shot. My wife was shaken & pissed at the first bullet so he got a third shot. I figured the bullet was of poor construction & moving too fast. This bullet was traveling close to 3000-f.p.s. when it hit the antelope. I am sure if the bullet was traveling slower, the preformace would have been much better.
