[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 1840251, member: 84285"] Bergers and ballistic tips will work, antelope are NOT tough critters, but Bergers and ballistic tips could potentially cause a LOT of meat damage in my experience. I prefer a copper bullet like Barnes or the Nosler E-Tip. They always do the necessary job with proper placement, and much less meat damage on the smaller framed antelope. Accubonds are fine too, but I tend to use my .25-06 with Barnes bullets on combined mule deer/antelope hunts. One other thing, don't worry too much about a hit antelope running off on you, they tend to run in a semi-circle almost always coming back to toward the line they started from. [/QUOTE]
