[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1708466, member: 75933"] my vote is for the 25-06. run a 110 eld or 115 berger fast and you'll be cooking in no time. both of those bullets should run over 3100 easy from a 24"+ barrel, and have plenty of energy to kill an antelope out to at least 500yds. once you start really stretching out the 6.5 bullets will catch up, but it takes a while. And yes, if you can build, get a 7.5 twist 25-06 for the 131gr blackjack. I can vouch for it's long range performance. My fast 25-06 will push the 131 to 3200fps in a 26" barrel easily. That bullet at that speed stomps the 6.5's [/QUOTE]
