More antelope hunting
Joel let his son use his gun for an upcoming hunt, so when I asked him if he wanted to use my 6.5x47 Lapua with the Burris Eliminator on it he said, "Sure!"

Actually it was the first shot that hit him. Shot went from outside of the throat on the left side (lopes right side) between the lungs bruising or causing some trauma lightly on one lung, above the heart, through the stomach and exited the antelope's left hind quarter.
Second shot missed.
We wondered the same thing too, but the autopsy revealed the whole story.
You should be able to see the vapor trail/trace on the first shot.

I've shot quite a few Antelope with my 243 using 95gr Berger's and almost everytime they are DRT. The Berger's I use seem to have a thin jacket and open up really fast, which 130 Berger where ya'll using? The hunting or target vld?
