[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 1754439, member: 32631"] Yesterday I had one more antelope doe tag to fill. Found the biggest herd of lope I've seen in years. I got out and set up bipod. They started walking away parralell to me at 213 yds.. they weren't stopping. I picked up last doe in line and held in front of her chest. Shot. She went down instantly. When I got there I couldn't believe how blown to hell it's chest was. Gaping hole all the way through. Took off a hunk of both legs. It was a mess. Was shooting a Cooper 52 in 6.5x284 with Berger 140 VLD. I've used Berger 30 cal 185 gr. VLD oot of a 300 RUM. Never experienced that. Heavier jacket maybe or longer yardage. Don't know. I shot other 2 doe lopes with my CA Ridgeline 6.5 PRC. 143 ELDX. At 280 and 188. Not much damage at all and bother DRT. Also shot my buck deer at 125 yds. With Same rifle and load. Dropped. Very little damage. Punched right through. Took off top of heart. Went about 10 yds and dropped. Have one more doe whitetail to get. I'll try 6.5x284 and Bergers again. Hopefully s heart shot not bone. About a week ago I used the 6.5 PRC on a good sized muley buck in New Mex H. Offhand at close to 1000 yds. Hit the spine above the shoulder . Dropped instantly.
