[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1883737, member: 104589"] Pronghorn are not difficult to kill despite what others may be telling you. Anything you would use on a whitetail is will work just fine for a pronghorn. As long as you don't plan on shooting more than 600 yards, I think a fast twist 243 is an excellent choice for pronghorn. Last year I used my 6mm Creedmoor and 115 gr bergers with great results. The most important thing is having a gun that you can shoot precisely in the wind. Pronghorn are small targets and it is often windy in places you will hunt pronghorn. I brought my 338 Lapua as my back up pronghorn gun just incase it was very windy. I'm good enough to call the wind on a 500 yard shot at pronghorn even in heavier winds with my Lapua. With my smaller guns like my 6mm Creedmoor I'm not good enough to call the wind for a 500 yard shot in 20-30 mph gusting winds. Here is a picture of what was left of the 6mm 115 grain Berger bullet. I didn't weighed it but I'm guessing around only 40 grains left but it preformed as expected for a Berger. Impact velocity would be close to 2400 fps. Shot distance was about 450 yards. Pronghorn was bedded broadside and bullet entered dead center of right shoulder and was found on the far side of the left shoulder. It shattered bone on both the left and right shoulder. After the shot the pronghorn attempted to get up but tipped over dead before he could get to his feet.
