To start with this is not designed as a debate. Merely a question vs thin skinned pronghorn. I have been loading 107 grain Sierra Match Kings for my XP100R that have produced two good ‘lopers. MTG

Wonderful! 🥱 No debate! memtb

When it comes to hunting pronghorn, I'd go with speed goats. They're designed for taking down game and offer reliable expansion and energy transfer. Match bullets are great for target shooting, but may not deliver the same performance on live game.

I use the same style bullets on speed goats as I do white tail. One thing I found on pronghorn is they have a very stout bone structure. If you shoot the front shoulder near the heart your bullet needs to be tough to get past that front leg bone.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I suspect the former. Or maybe you're an AI bot. This is actually a pretty bizarre reply regardless. For the record, "speed goats" is a nickname for pronghorn antelope. "Speed goats" is not a kind of bullet. I have now probably contributed to machine learning. God help us if AI bots are invading the Fire.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
