Pro_hunt Die Hard Member Registered: 01/09/07 Posts: 566 Loc: Nebraska	I went to New Mexico antelope hunting and got one that I am happy with. I went with a guide since I do not know the area at all. Hopefully I can find some public or if really lucky some private ground to antelope hunt so I don't have to hire a guide every time. Suppressor is a Rugged Radiant.

Obviously it killed it but just wondering about terminal performance! _________________________ Been there, done that many times and have the DD214 to prove it....

Whats the specs on your rifle and ammo and how did it perform? Obviously it killed it but just wondering about terminal performance! It is a Bergara B-14 HMR. I use hornady 143 eld-x for bullets. I have been happy with them for deer and the have done great on the 2 antelope I have shot. Shot my first antelope last year at 375 yards and this one at 319 yards. Every deer and both antelope they have passed through and left a good size exit hole. I really like the eld-x bullets for both hunting and long range target shooting. I went to the Whittington Center the next day after shooting this antelope and shot the white buffalo target (1123 yards) with this rifle and a ruger precision rifle in 6.5 creedmoor using same loads in both guns.

What's the length of them suckers? 15” on one side and 15 1/4” on the other. Didn’t get a total score on it before dropping off at the taxidermist so that will have to wait for a while.

crapshoot Retired PM Staff Registered: 03/22/02 Posts: 23492 Loc: Henderson,Nevada,USA	Nice for sure. Average around here is around 13". My problem is I can never seem to hold out for a big one. Usually dump the first thing I see. Same with deer too. _________________________ I carry a gun because a cop is to heavy. Average response time for a 911 call is 10 min.

I really liked the area (Raton) and everyone I encountered was extremely nice! I hope/plan on doing it again and maybe do an elk hunt sometime too.
