Congratulations Gr8bawana! Neat prize that should lead to a whole new batch of trophy pics, good luck.
Being defeated is a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent.
140 grain Nosler Accubond handloaded for a 7mm-08. First antelope with a rifle; first animal with my own handloads.
Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly.
Micah 6:8
First Pronghorn. Taken this year. I handloaded 150 grain Nosler Partition's in my .270 Winchester. I can't see me ever changing what I use. Same load has taken white-tailed deer in Michigan and feral hogs in Florida. I have never needed more than one, and have never recovered the slug.

Not a great pic, but rain was falling, and I wanted to get her dressed. 1st rifle hunt in 2 years, been picking up ML tags lately. 120gr ballistic tip out of a 6.5 Grendel. First harvest with this particular rifle. Bullet really did a great job.
My two bucks taken this fall with an Browning X-Bolt in 300 H&H using Nosler 180 grn accubond trophy grade ammo. The 1st was at 52 yds, the 2nd at 125 yds.

I got two bucks in NC this year with 130gr Nosler Accubonds out of a 270 winchester
Buck #1 was 157 yards broadside
Buck #2 was 75 yards quartering to
Both bullets were recovered under the hide in the off shoulder and were perfect mushrooms!

Who ended up winning the Nosler Package?
For 2018 hunt:
My first ever elk, taken at 370 yards with one of Randy’s favorites, a 7mm08 with Nosler 140 grain E-Tip factory ammo. Would post a pic of the recovered bullet but it is probably still flying somewhere in Wyoming!
And my Wyoming mule deer buck taken with the same rifle and factory Nosler ammo:
