[QUOTE="pablo, post: 497423, member: 21067"] Last October I took my son on his first big game hunt for antelope in Wyoming. When we were getting ready to go I discovered that we hadn't done any load development on 6.5 130 vld Berger hunting bullets I had bought a few months before. He and I talked about it and decided we would go with our 120 SMK prairie dog loads. He shot an antelope at 470yds that was quartering away. The bullet went in behind the ribs on the right side, nicked the front of the stomach, cut a half inch groove in the heart and exited through the off shoulder. Looking at the heart and off shoulder it didn't expand very much. It doesn't take much to kill an antelope and we discussed the possibility of a close range shot. We agreed if the antelope was close he was not to shoot it through the shoulder. After being hit this antelope walked about 75 yards, circled once, stood and wobbled and fell over. He bled out in the chest cavity. [/QUOTE]
