Are you sure you are not already on their staff?? LOLAny of the New Creedmoor based cartridges are Great - just that the 25 cal is severely lacking on a good choice of Bullets YET. RJ
Hopefully SOON - Hornady will reintroduce the “ 30TC “ as a 30 Creedmoor and neck it down to .284 also for a 7 mm Creedmoorthose 2 cartridges are widely needed .

Hornaday is at it again... This will keep the fan-boys running back for the latest/greatest. .25 CM

Funny Mike - my BUddy here in Kammy has a NEW build on a t3x and in a PR folding chassis - ITS pretty Nice ! RJI've got a new Tikka Chassis from PR Precision on the way, a 25 creedmoor prefit on a tikka action and this would make a great deer pack rifle!
JMHO though
Early 257s from the 250-3000 and 257 Rob days started life with 1-14 twist rates. I had a Remington 721 chambered for the 257 Rob with a 1-14 twist and it wouldn't shoot anything heavier than 100 grain spire point/flat base. I believe most 250 Savages are still made with 1-14 twist rates.
However, Remington fixed that issue several decades back when they produced the Model 700 and adorned it with a 257 Rob with a 1-9.5 twist rate, that will handle bullets of any shape up the heaviest available 125 grain spbt.
Why not just stick with the proven and venerable 7-08????Any of the New Creedmoor based cartridges are Great - just that the 25 cal is severely lacking on a good choice of Bullets YET

Well, if it actually did something new, then it would be notable.
Well, at least they did not call it a CM. The 6mm ARC actually has some performance advantages over the 243 with light bullets.
They do something new. They sell lol
The "same" cartridge that no one cares about, with arguably less going for it, typically doesn't. People need to care.
Kidding, mostly. 243 Win sells great. But opening up new options for common, heavy bullets and a supply of factory fast twist rifles chambered for them really helped. There was a market for it, its being catered to.

Pretty soon... 4.5 CM or .17 CM !!
I like new Cartridges Especially when there design is superior ! The Creedmoor case design is JUST better !

"Frankly, I'm sick to death" about hearing how whichever latest cartridge is "basically a...." or "Just a rebranded....."
why you gotta be hatin?
It is almost universally the case that newer cartridges have the capacity for longer, slipperier, higher BC pills.
It is also almost universally the case that newer cartridges make use of tighter rifling in order to stabilize said pills
It is also almost universally the case that they do so with less pressure, less throat erosion, and less felt recoil than their "Historical Equivalent", especially if you load them to try and compete with modern offerings.
Are there not at least a dozen common .30 cartridges? Did people whine and cry every time a new one of those came out?
After all, a 308 is just a better version of the 30-06. ;-)
Modern tap water is clean (almost too clean), abundant (round here anyway), and is often laced with beneficial substances.
Maybe it is just "rebranded" puddle slurpings but I am not opposed to it.
I do think it is a bit disingenuous for Hornady (or anyone) to brand any cartridge as the new WT Slammer or "Silver Bullet" for Elk. That's just crazy. Every game animal on earth could be ethically harvested with a 308 or any number of 100 year old offerings and if you want to shoot animals at 800 yards, I think you should work on your hunting skills and close the distance.
For me, new cartridges are about developing hand loads and mastering distance on steel. I don't even have a 6 or .22 CDM yet but the 6 is on the list and the 25 sounds cool to me.
When will the 7.62 CDM come out I wonder? I will take one.....

The 6 ARC is designed to operate in AR platforms. It has decidedly less cartridge capacity than the 6 CDM.
Likewise, the 6.5 Grendel is an AR platform offering, decidedly less capacity than the 6.5 CDM.
Both are great in AR's but even better in bolt rifles.
Not new enough??
What does it have to do?, your taxes?
No, Savage changed their 250-300 twist rate to 1-10, hmm, late 80s early 90s. I had one of them. Nice rifle, and much more accurate with heavier bullets than my 1920 was. - dan
You think comparing a new cartridge to previous similar cartridge is "hating"? Seriously? - dan
