[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1463556, member: 33159"] Shot my very first antelope in CO with a .243 at 250 yards using a 95 gr Ballistic Tip. It flipped him over. Next 2 speed goats were in WY at 355 and 407 yards using my 7STW with a 140 gr E-tip. Both were dead in their tracks. Was looking forward to using my 6.5-284 Norma with a 143 gr ELDX this season in WY but didn't draw a tag. You've got choices. The 243 will do the job just fine, but it's nice to have the extra velocity and power of a bigger cartridge just in case you need it. As always, shot placement is crucial. I'd use the 6.5-284 if I were you. [/QUOTE]
