I think a 240 Weatherby would be an ideal open country deer and antelope round. I have used the 243 & 6 Rem. for as long as I have been hunting with no complaints. I just built a fast twist 6mm AI which is close to the Weatherby and it is shooting really well out to 500 with just the CDS rectacle.

Weatherby increased the twist to 9 or 9.25 so should be good for bullets up to 105 grains.
