Since you already have a 270 Weatherby I would go with the 25-06. The 270 Weatherby will actually match the 257 weatherby trajectories at 400 yards due to the higher BC bullets available in 270 caliber. The 25-06 will offer some separation in performance from the 270 Weatherby but it is still more than adaquate for antelope at 400 yards with the right bullet.
