Mr 16 gauge. I always ask calibers because I make custom rifles. The ones you fellows used are certainly adequate. My favorite is a 25-06 or 6.5-06 for antelope.
Larry,
On my last trip out west, I took my mule deer and 2 antelope with my 6.5x55 M96 Mauser.....I don't know why this round isn't more popular here in the states (Maybe because of the metric designation? Maybe they should have renamed it the ".264 Scandanavian" or some such thing?)...It is probably (IMHO) just as good as a .270 and doesn't have a lot of recoil...good round for new shooters, IMO. I can see were a 6.5-06 would be a good choice as well.

FIJI:
Shoot me a p.m. when you get back from ND.....I'm sure we can work out something for a package of steaks. (the antelope sure do stink, but the meat doesn't!)

Skeet:
Good luck on the elk hunt....hope you find that big 7x7 behind the first tree!
