[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 1904863, member: 43504"] I agree with everything said here. I like 1000 ft/lbs of energy and around 2000 FPS to ensure reliable expansion and transfer of energy. The good thing about antelope is that they generally live in wide open terrain and you can watch the animal after impact and likely get a follow up shot if needed. just out of curiosity, what is your twist rate? They make some awesome 108-115 grain bullets in .243 but those require a fast twist rate. [/QUOTE]
