I've been invited to attend next year's Wyoming pronghorn/deer hunt he organizes every other year. He's made a lot of contacts out there over the last few years and the hint us done right and it's become somewhat of an honor within my extended family to be invited. I currently hunt Michigan with a 7mm-08 (a nice compact Savage 112) or .44 lever gun. I'm a decent shot and can work up any load for the Savage. I currently shoot 140 grain Sierra Pro-Hunter's over a Max-1 load of Varget. I get .75" groups regularly and would love to use this load if it's acceptable. Last year, pronghorn were taken at 300 yards and deer at 250. Would my current setup have enough umph at those ranges our would this be a good time to add another rifle to my safe (I am tempted by a 30-06 Ruger American topped with a Leopold VX-2). Any suggestions on load or rifle change?
