What size bullet is the best to use for antelope hunting. I will be using a 30-06 and was wondering what would be the best size bullet to use. I use 150-grain bullets for deer, would you guys use the same bullets or would you use something smaller. I was at Cabela’s today and was looking at some bullets that were 125-grain. Which do you think would be better or is there something else you would recommend? Thanks for any advice and feedback.

If you have your 06 sighted in for 150's and it works for you, go with it. No need to use the 125's.

Yep why mess with it if it's not boken. You know how these bullets shoot and they will be plenty deadly.

I agree with what has been said if you are already shooting them. 150 is fine for antelope. However, if you reload I would consider moving to a 165 boat tail for everything at some point. The ballistics are just better all the way around.
