The 243 is ideal for those hunters who want a single gun for varmints and small big game.

There you have it.

Personally, I can't imagine needing more for antelope than a 243 with an 85 gr. TSX bullet. My wife keeps shooting them with her 6PPC, and they keep falling over dead.

Bullet placement, bullet construction, bullet velocity. Cartridges don't kill animals, lack of blood pressure kills animals. It always comes down to that. JMO, Dutch.
