[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 1916281, member: 97905"] It's been said but choose the one you're most confident with, then practice a lot with it. You'll have to compensate for wind regardless of your choice, but all are plenty of energy for an antelope. FWIW, I've shot several antelope with 6.5 creedmoor 140grain at 400-600 yards and would not hesitate to do the same with 90-110 grainers out of a 6mm. If you get them in the lungs they will not go far. 80 grains is a pretty light 25 cal bullet, still would do the job no problem. Take a good range finder and make sure you're ranging the antelope, don't range a hill behind them. And don't underestimate their ability to see you several hundred yards away, they have great eyesight. Sounds fun, hope you shoot a giant, NM has giants. [/QUOTE]
