[QUOTE="NM-LAnk, post: 2264420, member: 112307"] I have always been a one rifle for all game kind of guy. (I've also been married for over 40 years :)) The rifle/caliber has changed over the years but I use the same gun for everything I'm hunting that year. So I use an 8mm Rem Mag for antelope... there is no such thing as too dead in my mind. With today's premium hunting bullets there is not really a need to change. They will hold together on elk and expand on an antelope and perform at long range. But the real reason I don't change is because I don't want to think when a shot opportunity presents. I sight in for MPBR and even with a calibrated/adjustable scope, I know exactly where I need to hold out to 500 yards. It saves seconds and that can be the difference between a down animal and a missed opportunity. [/QUOTE]
