Why would you use a bullet weight designed for deer/elk sized game? Just curious as antelope are on my bucket list along with whitetail.

I'm thinking they're looking for B.C., wind stability with 165's, etc.

For WT's I like 130 gr. Hornady SP's out of my '06. They blow thru WT chests, quick kills, impressive wounds, entrance and exit bleeding. But the B.C. isn't as good as with longer bullets.
