Which load for pronghorn?

I haven't gotten great accuaracy with the 105 hornady bullets, but it gets them over 3000 pretty easily and I plan on spending more time with that bullet to try and get it grouping better.

There's not much to an antelope. No mass no heavy bone structure. Then again after watching a friend shoot one with a 300 RUM 180gr Accubond at 200yds and it still got back up and ran off it does boil down to the shot placement. I told him he needed a bigger gun for antelope hunting and laughed. Honestly there's not many bullets that shouldn't work on an antelope. I would take a more positive expansion bullet over a heavy controlled expansion for antelope. TSX would not be on my list anywhere.

I shot 6 of the 105 amaxes at 300 yards on saturday to see if they were stabilizing. With a fairly stiff headwind and fading light, they made perfectly round holes and a 4" or so group. Just waiting for better conditions to try and dial that load in, now.
Still going to give the 95 bergers a shot, since I already have a box...
