Default RE: Antelope load for a 308 win

Antelope are not hard to kill,and some shots will be a ways out there,with this in mind i would shoot a 130gr bullet. If you like varget powder 47grs will give you 2975fps,and 50gr=3130fps. another load is BL-C(2) 48grs=2897fps and 51.5grs=3089fps.and just for another choice using H4895,45grs=2903fps and 49grs=3127fps. all of these would be real nice loads. As far as bullets,use the brand you like and feel comfortable with there are many good ones out there.You won,t need the deep penetration type like the barnes triple shock,speer,hornady,nolser do make good bullets. vangunsmith
