I think this will be the third re-post of this first kill, and the second re-post for the second one. But, you asked...

Ruger M77 MkII, .270 Winchester, Leupold 3.5-10x40mm VX-3, Harris Ultralight Bipod.
140 gr Nosler Partition, hand load, averages 7/8" or better groups @ 100 yards.
The Partition is "overkill" for Antelope, but I can't argue with the beautiful holes they punch, without fragmenting. Fragmenting bullets cause meat loss, and there isn't much to lose on a goat...

First: (Sept 11, mid-afternoon)

(Note the pretty little entrance wound, with a single drop of blood. The exit is less than twice that size, in the same place.)

Second: (Oct 9, done before sunrise)

(Note my cargo pockets packed full of crap. Those "Saddlebags" have everything I need for the day.)

Two shots fired. Two Antelope down. No meat lost. It all went in the freezer.
Definitely a good year.
