Antelope hunt added Pics

[tenwalker]

Buffalo Wy. 10/15/2010 8:30 AM. first morning

Finally loaded some Pics.

He is only 12 1/2 inches but has 5 1/2" cutters and 5 1/2+ bases. I waited for an hour for him to clear the crowd of Antelope he was in. I would not have taken him but his cutters made him a shooter. 220yds (last years was 320yds.) and he dropped in his tracks Win. Featherweight in 250-3000 with 100gr. ballistic tips. This is my third Antelope with this rifle. It is so much fun to shoot. Next year it is going to sport a 24" Krieger in 250-3000.

Shot a nice Buck the first morning at 8:30, 220yds with the 250 Savage and 100gr. Ballistic tip-dropped him in his tracks. Only 12 1/2" but 5 1/2" cutters, his cutters made him a shooter. Pics to follow I need some sleep I drove 15hrs. strait thru from Buffalo Wy. home by myself.

I've been thinking about building a light, low-recoiling rifle in 250-3000. How far are you comfortable taking a shot at a deer or antelope with this cartridge? Was the 320 yard shot last year taken with the 250 savage?

Congrats on the goat. Thanks for sharing the pic`s.

I was wondering the same thing as guhunter, was the 320yd goat from last year shot with this gun? What powder are you using in it?

[tenwalker]

The 320yd. shot was with this rifle (250 Savage) with 100gr. Ballistic Tips. and a 22" barrel with a 200yd. zero (speed was around 2850). The problem is that I forgot to record the load and powder but had 50 rounds left over from last year. The load was out of Nosler's latest manual. I plan rebarrel it with a 24" Krieger this winter. It is so much fun to shoot. Dale

Awesome. I think this cartridge will make an great lightweight, low recoil rifle build. I love to have something a little different as well. Sounds like it's no slouch on medium game either.

This years goat was dead before his knees buckled. When I originally built this gun it was for my daugther and she loved shooting it. Now I am the one who gets to enjoy shooting it.

Thanks tenwalker. I have a Mauser actioned 250 Savage that i am going to start loading for when the dies get here. I was planning on using 100gr BT but wasn`t sure what powder to try first. I have IMR 4064, IMR4350 and R22 on hand so.......... My 11yr old is really wanting to shoot it, figure it will be a good gun for him.

I use H4895 in my .250 Sav. With 100gr. Sierra's I can get close to 3000fps w/ no real pressure signs. Works great on Whitetail deer here in NC
