[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2225111, member: 100742"] Shot my first antelope in Wyoming in 1980. I used my brand new .270 Weatherby Mag, and had it loaded for Mule deer when we came upon the antelope. This was not expected. Shot and hit the goat 4 times. Yes sir , 4 times ,with the 150 Grn Speer Grand Slam bullets . A Premium Bullet back then. That's what was loaded in the rifle. The first shot was about 200 yards, the final shot was about 300 yards. When we recovered the antelope we saw the 4 exit holes. I learned a very sad Life time Lesson that day . [B] Do not use Tough, Hard bullets on[/B] [B]light game !![/B] I have Never made that mistake again. I should have unloaded the rifle, and then used the 130 Grn Sierra GK loads I had with me for Antelope. Today my choice would be 130 Grn Nosler Ballistic tips, or Nolser130 Grn Accubonds. [/QUOTE]
