[QUOTE="rjmarine, post: 1153059, member: 30201"] yep just like they said 270 will be all and even a lot more then you will need for antelope. be in shape be in shape be in shape . have good shoes to hike in i took a cpl guys from texas for elk last yr that was 7000-8000 elevation and they live at 900 . to say it killed them is putting it lightly. also if you do plan to shoot out 500yrds you need to be able to hit your target at 500 yrds . please do not take this the wrong way just what i have seen is most guys from back east [ which is anywhere east of the rockies lol ] say they can shoot to 500 yrds and when they need to they really can not. when i say be able to hit your target at 500 yrds i do not mean have a ballistic chart on your iphone telling you how many inches over his back to hold. what i mean is do a lot of shooting with the rifle you plan to shoot with and with the exact same ammo you plan to use not just some other brand with the same weight bullet. i when i say the rifle you plan to hunt with i mean just that. set up just like you will be set up in the field shooting . so many guys will put hrs behind the trigger on a bench using sand bags or when or those stupid lead sled things and never ever even shoot there rifle off of there bipod . i say bipod as that is what a lot guys like to use out in the wide open areas that the antelopes will be in. most rifles with have a different point of impact from sand bags then it will have off a bipod. not all but a lot of rifles i have tried. and dont shoot with the bipod on the bench shoot with the bipod off the dirt just like you would in the field. this little trick can help in a big way sometimes on those longer shots.gun) good luck and happy hunting next yr [/QUOTE]
