If what I've seen from using a 243win is an indication, the 6creed might be just about perfect for Antelope. I plan on using a 108gr eldm this year. Guessing the berger would work well too.
The 109 will work great. I run the 105, 109, and the 115 EOL in a 22" 7 twist Krieger. All shoot little bug holes with very little load development required. H4350 will be your friend here.

What kind of max range are you expecting with say a 115 berger?
^^^ who are you asking?
Well my load has MV of 3045 FPS. See the solution chart below at about 2500 elevation. For the appropriate game hunting application it would stay above 1800 FPS out to 900-950 yards based on this elevation. For target shooting it would be much more.
101 Hammer Hunters and H4350 are your friend
What is your load data w/ the 115's
I ran the
I ran the HH 101's at 3201 FPS also but had better down range accuracy beyond 400 with all the Bergers. I have had issues with getting the BC solved on the 101HH at the longer range but it's a great bullet. I'll stick with the Bergers for now and they're half the price. Here's my 115 Berger load data with a 5 shot group.
With the 109 what are you seeing for velocity. I'll have a 21" barrel
I never measured it but you can count on something higher that what I was getting with the 115.

The only problem with 109 Bergers is finding them. I hope that you are well supplied. I don't like doing load development for a bullet that is hard to find. Unless I am well stocked.
