[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 813291, member: 68226"] I have shot any of antelope here in Idaho with a 220 swift and a Nosler 55 gr ballistic tip stuffed on top of enough powder to go 3950. On a running Pronghorn at 250 yds one was shot right through the non vitals. A poor shot that should of been passed by all the judges. The Pronghorn went down so fast that it was gone in the blink of an eye. When we walked up to it the entry hole was blood shoot so bad the meat for a foot around it was destroyed and the exit hole was over 8 inches in diameter. My experience had to be the same experience that Roy Weatherby made when he made his famous quote. "I do not care what anyone says,,velocity kills". On this same trip many antelope were harvested and brought back to camp by calibers from 277 to 308. None did the terminal damage that the 220 swift did. [/QUOTE]
