[QUOTE="6mm Remington, post: 553096, member: 35254"] +2 to what Nimrod said. I feel there is too much room for error on a neck shot. It can work and can be very effective, but it's a small target and doesn't give you much room for error. I feel a shot in the lungs just behind the shoulder is the best for antelope. They are amazingly tough animals and pound for pound are right up there with elk! I watched my dad shoot a doe in the neck with his 7mm Rem magnum shooting 160 gr. Nosler partitions at 3070 fps. This doe never missed a beat and ran 400+ yards before she dropped! He missed bone but was lucky and caught her juglar vein. David [/QUOTE]
