RE: 243 wssm and speed goats
Use the gun you have supreme confidence in. I say it's more imortant to have confidense as well as proper bullet selection than caliber. I shoot everything with the .300 Win Mag. A guy I work with uses a .338 for everything. Sounds huge for lopes, eh? Proper bullet selection and there is no more damage than a much smaller caliber. I've seen it both as a hunter and guide.
Best advice is practicing 200 yard- 300 yard- or more shots and know your balistics.

I just saw this post. The .243 WSSM is what I use for antelope and I also use the 95 Ballistic Silvertips.
This is 2007 result.
One Shot DONE!
To give you an idea I am 6'1" and about 270 so the horns are a little bigger then they appear with me in the picture. 16 1/2" to tip and about 2" spades.
