[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1882907, member: 67552"] From 400 yards and in BC really doesn't mean a lot. For that matter, considering it's antelope, bullet construction isn't all that critical either. They are small and soft. The danger is not a bullet that doesn't make the vitals, it's a bullet that purples a backstrap or destroys an entire shoulder (or 2). Actually a 70 grain Ballistic Tip is fantastic. Speed enough at 3400 to 3550 to beat the wind at 400 and as long as you are past 80 to 100 yards, they act exactly like a Berger VLDH. If you can keep it in the ribs they are dead by the time you cycle the bolt with little meat damage. Trouble is there is potential for that ruined front half or back half if you miss your spot. This is the longest way ever to say, if you are comfortable with your accuracy, you will have a dead goat and you'll be happy regardless of the bullet you pick. [/QUOTE]
