Used terrain and good dose of luck to close the gap and seal the deal on this antelope buck on a recent trip to Wyoming!



9" barreled FA M353 at 111 yards for the first shot passing through the lungs, and a hard quartering finisher at 107 to anchor him for good. Partition recovered

Well done, Dur! That was my weapon of choice for my pronhorn hunt that didn't happen - probably same load as well. Pronghorn is still high on my list. Congrats on a beautiful buck!

I have deep respect for anyone who takes an antelope with a revolver. It takes great stalking, great shooting, or a combination of both.

WELL DONE!

I think a revolver pronghorn hunt is on my to do list.

Well done Dur, have you chronographed your load? Just curious as to what velocity your getting. Heard some pretty crazy speeds that you can get out of the model 83.
