Best speed goat round

[HighLander]

I wouls say you cannot go wrong with a 25.06 or .270..both great. I however did shoot both mine this past year with a .338WM and I know it is a bit overkill but I am so comfronatble with the gun and I know wjere the bullet is going. Plus there was no tracking involoved.

HOLY CRAP!! WERE THESE ANTELOPE ARMORED PLATED?

Using a big mag and being a good shot with it, is better than using a light caliber and not being able to be consistent.

I have noticed that often times, heavy cartridges do much less damage than lighter ones on game. I think that this has to so with the combination of heavier constructed bullets and modest muzzle velocities. I shot several balcktails with my 338RUM when I was getting into the long range world. Suprisingly enough I lost very little meat on these 120-140 lb animals. I was using 225 Nosler Accubond bullets and ended up with silver dollar sized exit wounds when I hit bone, and quarter sized when I shot through the ribs. This was actually less damage than I was used to seeing with my 25-06 before I started shooting better bullets. My thoughts on the issue are; there is really no such thing as too big, but there definately is such thing as too small. I have never understood the desire of people to insist on using varmint cartridges on big game. Yes, I know that countless animals have been killed this way, I have done it myself, and I have learned that big game should be taken with big game cartridges. The little coastal blacktail taken in this picture has a 338RUM exit wound on the shoulder you can see in the pic. Very little damage, dead deer, perfect! ------shooter

I think most high speed bullets hitting bone will make a mess. I still say the area just behind the shoulder is best. Bullet passes through doing great damage in the boiler room.

7mm, 270, 25-06 all great in my opinion.
