[QUOTE="th82457, post: 1709188, member: 35153"] Based on your range limit of 400 yards & working 90 hours a week with I assume limited practice time - stick with the 25-06 with a good proven made for deer bullet in 100, 110 or 115 grain. It will shoot much flatter out to 400 yards & will drop either deer or antelope quickly & reliably. Any perceived advantage of the 6.5 Creedmoor will be non-existent given your stated yardage limit. I have used a 25-06 for decades & have not found a better round for deer/antelope at reasonable shooting distances. I know this is a long range forum - but frankly 400 yards is a very long shot for 98% of hunters and is usually not necessary for antelope if you actually put a stalk on one. The majority of antelope that I have taken have been between 125 & 250 yards. Just my two cents worth. [/QUOTE]
