[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 279429, member: 13632"] Savage offers the 22-250 in 1-9 twist and it looks like somewhere around a 70gr bullet would work. When I get my current project done I'm going to rebarrell my 788 to a 22-250AI with a 1-8 or 1-9 twist for shooting deer and smaller stuff under 500yds. The bullet I would think is the determining factor. I killed a literal truck load of whitetail does between 350 and 450 yards but I used my coyote loads to get good bullet action, four died with one shot behind the shoulder with 52gr vmax, lungs where mush they just did a 20-30yd sprint and tipped. Antalope are not hugely larger than a coyote and I don't think there as tough as a coyote, you can shoot them and just get a clean pass though if you don't shoot a bullet that will open. [/QUOTE]
