Thanks for posting Darrell! I took this WY antelope on a DIY hunt using Nosler's NCH in 6.5 CM with 120 gr. BT ammo. One shot at 336 yards filled my tag and freezer.
I just returned from Utah and got lucky with a fine mule deer. Same gun/ammo. First shot at 223 yards was too far back. Second shot at 400 punched my tag.
I'm extremely pleased with the NCH and look forward to MO deer season.

Not only are the animals you take impressive, you manage to capture the best photos. I have always liked the looks of a pronghorn buck. The mountains in the background of this particular photo are quite striking.
