[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1884102, member: 26227"] Jungle Bird, My experience is with the antelope in the middle of and western Nevada are easy to kill just not easy to get close to. I had a 25-06 that I used. 100 grain Speer HP's, 100 grain Barnes TTSX, and Berger 100 grain slugs were all I used. I shot them at 400+ because my hunting partners were a bit too frigidity. for the 6MM/243 class I would still suggest Berger and Barnes. also I suggest shots that you will get more times than not.. head shots are very common here.. the tall grass and the heads just fixated on your position. so use their skulls for the bullseye. also use a veil over the scope, the gun and use a veil over your eyes so they do not fixate on you. let them home in on someone else's eyes. they home in on eyeballs. do not let them see your eyes. I would normally use a 87 grain HPBT for my friends 6MM rem for antelope with Berger slugs, or a load with 80 grain Nosler ballistic tip, or a Barnes TTSX in 80 grain as well. those are the 6MM slugs I know that work well in this part of Nevada.
