[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1882630, member: 14204"] It does NOT matter which bullet you use or caliber/chambering, shot placement and displacement are the keys to a humane harvest and minimum meat damage. However, the "NUT" behind the trigger is the biggest factor. Is this your first antelope hunt? I have shot 180 NBT out of my .300 WM on antelope doe/fawn at ~100 yards with minimum meat damage. Similarly, with 215 Bergers off .300 WM and 225 NABs off .338 WM. Regardless if you use the .243 or the .257, use the heaviest/highest BC that gives you the best group at the furthest range you intend to shoot the game with enough energy and minimum velocity for the bullet to expand effectively at the point of impact. "My" unwritten rule is 1000 FT-LBS of energy and 1800/1600 FPS depending on the bullet. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
