[QUOTE="trebark, post: 995860, member: 19172"] As usual, the answer 'depends'. It depends on how far you are comfortable shooting. In Wyoming the wind is fierce but fairly constant. If you plan on shoot out to 600 (and beyond) go with the 168. If you're going to be 500 and closer, go with 150. To be more precise, take a look at the trajectory and wind drift of each. You will see that at the closer distances the speed of the 150 will have it winning over the 168. Then at some point the higher BC of the 168 will overtake the 150. It's at that distance that is the decision maker. If you're only going to shoot that far, go with 150. If you're going to shoot farther, go with 168. Antelope are not especially tough animals. Make a good hit in the chest and they will go down. Be safe, good luck and have fun. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/2-va-lrhers-eastern-wy-78874/[/url] [/QUOTE]
