[QUOTE="Brent21, post: 2515838, member: 108911"] When I see questions like this I typically do a few things. One I narrow it down to 3 or 4 calibers that fit my need. Two I will then look at ammoseek as I do not reload so having at least a decent amount of ammo to choose from is important. Three I will look at said calibers on Gunbroker. Not necessarily to buy from there but to get a sense of the popularity. I always rule out 6.5 CM just my personal opinion. So if you have a rifle company that you prefer I would look at the options you narrowed down to see if they have one available in the calibers you have looked at. An example of this would be I like the 6 CM but what advantage would it have for me in a hunting application say over a .243. Up to 500 yards not much of a difference. When it comes to rifles to choose from there is much more of a selection for the .243 as a hunting rifle. The flip side if I wanted one for 1000 yards for punching paper the 6 CM has both advantages with the ballistics as well as factory rifles to choose from. Either way good luck with your hunt and please share what round and rifle you chose as well as pictures of your Pronghorn! Brent [/QUOTE]
