[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1713411, member: 104589"] I would go with 6mm creedmoor over 6.5 creedmoor for pronghorn. Flatter shooting and still plenty of energy to kill a pronghorn at any reasonable range. 115 gr Berger’s have about 1000 lbs energy at 700 yards in my 6mm Creedmoor. 140 gr Berger’s from my 6.5 creedmoor also have about 1000 lbs of energy at 700 yards. However, the 6mm has a 26” barrel and the 6.5 has a 20” barrel. Both are a poor choice for pronghorn at really long distances. If you will also use it for coyotes then I think the 6mm creedmoor is easily a better choice. If you want to use it for big bodied mule deer, then I think the 6.5 CM is a better choice. But I would also take a 30-06 for big bodied deer over a 6.5 creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
