[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 2994780, member: 47425"] Any of those bullets are more than enough for any antelope. Even the 127 is imho, might be ok for muleys, but is on the too light side for elk or bear. Speed without sectional density (and thus weight) means little to them if a shot is not perfect. I've taken dozens of antelope and a couple elk with a 264, but was using 140gr, antelope all drt, one elk drt and one went maybe 50yds, both boiler room shots like yours. Why not just re-barrel it for 140-156gr and then with proper shot placement it will do all the tasks you list and do them very well! Shot placement is King. [/QUOTE]
