Catfish, According to the Nosler #5, the heaviest load should be around 2575fps with the 286 gr. Of course we won't know until we run them over the chronograph; which is after we finish the break-in on the barrel. I may moly some just to see what the difference is. We are also going to load some 250 gr. which is probably what we will use for anything less than moose. Adequate for antelope?
Here is the scenario. We will locate the buck and wait until 4:30 pm. I want the antelope east of me, the sun coming over my right shoulder, I will aim about 6 inches back of the front leg and about 6" above the bottom line. At the shot I expect to see the large halo of his hair from that side reflected in the late day sun. I had a friend tell me a 375 took about half the hair from one side. I will not waste much meat because there just isn't that much in that area of the ribs. I am anticipating an instantaneous kill.
