500 yards and in, 25 creedmoor no question. Unless you are wanting a very short barrel, it will do everything you need burning less powder with manageable recoil. I have owned 25-06, 25-284, and 25 creedmoor barrels all fast twist for heavies and the 25 creedmoor is the only one left in my safe of those. Handful of kills from 500-700 yards have not left me wanting for more horsepower. Killed a few elk as well with great results. Feel free to PM
