[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 229978, member: 313"] Here's my 2 cents for whatever it's worth: Virtually any expanding bullet will do an adequate job of killing pronghorns if the shot placement is good. I would choose an accurate bullet that resists the wind (high B/C) because the winds out west can be unpredictable and strong. I found it harder to dope the wind than anything else. This is why I would not advocate using a 22-250 or similar cartridge even though they have sufficient terminal energy for lopes. I used a 162gr A-Max bullet because it was very accurate in my rifle, had a rather high B/C and because the A-Max bullets will expand at virtually any distance. The closest I ever got to my lope was about 450yds but he was no match for the 7STW & A-Max bullet combo. [/QUOTE]
