[QUOTE="kraigwy, post: 681201, member: 12597"] 250 yards. With a 250 yard zero you'll never be too high or too low if you aim for the heart lung area to 300 yards. The vital size of antelope is 8.5 - 9 inches. You'll be good to go with either rifle, With a good bullet in your 243, (90-100 gr) you can extend that and use a 300 yard zero. But there is not reason to shoot antelope beyond 300 yards. Careful with wind, a 15 mph full value wind will move your '06 bullet about 6 inches at 300 yards. Somewhat less with the 243. [/QUOTE]
