Default RE: Antelope Bullet for .243?

243 is a great round for antelope. My son and I have taken 4 bucks, 2 in MT and 2 in WY in last two seasons w a 243. This year I took a longer than preferred shot at 340 yards-- w a 95 grain Federal Vital Shok Nosler ballistic tip. High lung shot, the lope walked 20 yards. I also like the100 gr Nosler Partition. I Prefer the 95. We sighted in at 200 yards before the season-- and made sure to know the balistics at 250, 300, 350 and 400. we hunt public land and the big bucks can sometimes get pretty skittishafter that first week of the season. have fun.
