Have a 13" 7-30 barrel...shoot it well with a load of 35 grains of Win748 and a 120 gr NBT. I am looking at a Monatana Pronghorn Hunt and want to up my load as this is way below max from what I have seen.
Gentlemen who is helping me arrange it says the farther I am comfortable shooting the better. I want my range more limited by my ability than the trajectory of the load I am using.
Would like a recommended load for the longest range shooting on Pronghorn with a 7-30. Let me say that I think my load already is good for 200 yards. I am hoping to stretch that to 300 yards for a Pronghorn and think that is definitely long range for a handgun and an animal with a small vital area like a typicial pronghorn.
I realize I need to work up to it, but am curious what others have found in a similar length barrel.
Will have a 2-7 Burris Scope mounted.
The NBT seems to have about the best BC out there and energy on a Pronghorn might be less of a concern than accuracy I would think...smaller animal.
