No Excuses

[IDMONK]

I have had good luck with No Excuses 420 gr conicals in my Knight Bighorn and drew an Idaho pronghorn muzzy tag this year. With Idahos new more lax rules are there other projectiles I need to be looking at? Would I expect to see better performance accuracy wise with a copper bullet or maybe a sabot?

Yes. Now that you can shoot saboted bullets, that choice is a no brainer. Especially for antelope. I’d look at some 250 gr bullets pushed by 100-115 gr 777. Way less recoil and flatter trajectory.

The 250 gr SST, XTP, TC Shockwave, Barnes Expander MZ, Fury Star Tip are all good choices.

Thanks, would you recommend any particular sabot bullet combo?

If you've seen my videos picking off clay pigeons at 300yds with that very bullet, it makes sense to just shoot more often and get accurate with what you have.

For what it’s worth my knight ultralights shoots the 250 sst well.

Better then it did the 275

Have not shot an animal with it so can’t report on performance that way. But I’m sure it would do fine.

Honestly just about anything will do the trick on antelope. They’re very easy to kill. I’d probably just grab some TC 250 gr Shockwaves (which is a Hornady SST with a different colored polymer tip) with the supplied sabot and try them.

What grn are you using for the 250 sst?
