25 creedmoor

I don't know about that Hoyt. Years back I built a 25 Souper, which is pretty close to the 25 CM. It was a great little deer cartridge. - dan

I am somewhat being tongue in cheek here....

I have had many, many quarter bores, but I am serious when I say that they are the least desirable (at least to me), too big to be small, too small to be big and terrible selection of bullets. If you have one great, shoot it, they work... but starting out from scratch for a medium game rifle, I would go to 6.5 or 7mm every time... I like the Roberts and have taken a few deer with them, and have owned, shot and hunted many others including the /06 and Bee... just cannot find love for them.in the field... I always reach for something bigger or smaller.

With 25 creedmoor being saami approved when can we expect to see some factory rifles chambered in it?
Or is it worth rebarreling a different rifle?

The 6.5 Creedmoor and it's offsprings are nice little cartridges, but there is MUCH better out there.

Quarterbore's are kinda like Nickelback.....and we all know theres 2 types of people in the world, those who say they hate Nickelback and liars ;)

All jokes aside the quarterbore bug is real. Once you're bit its all downhill from there.

Oh yes. 25 Souper, 25 Copperhead, 250 Savage, 250 Savage AI, 257 Robert's, 257 Robert's AI, 25-06, 25 Gibbs, 25 WSSM, 257 STW. The addiction is real. - dan
 
For me the 25 made sense as I live in a caliber restricted zone. While the 270 is legal it's too much for coyotes and coons and other pests. The 2506 gives me the 75gr max and 117/120gr for deer and bear. For me it worked and has dropped every game animal I've shot with it. Is it perfect no. Does it kill as good as a 6.5cm...I haven't had a game animal look back and laugh while walking it off

I am interested in the heavier bullets becoming available for the 25 cal. Hoping they make game bullets heavier than 120gr
 
Unfortunately the ignore function doesnā€™t work when members quote. Apparently the only one that knows anything! Like Clint said ā€œA legend in his own mindā€. Guess when your only shooting at short range it doesnā€™t really matter.
 
I've decided to drop the 25 creedmoor due to a big lack of projectiles locally.
I think I'll go with the 6.5 creedmoor and wear a paper bag over my face so nobody recognizes me lol

A 25CM has nothing to offer over the already established 6CM and 6.5CM. Find loading gear, find a reamer, find proper bullets, etc etc etc. Even if you do find all the kit, you've still not got anything better. The 6CM was the best and obvious development from the 6.5. Anything else is just gunnutz doing gun nut things.

I think you made the right choice.

I think for practical hunting distances, literally the only reason to go with a 25creed is because you want to and itā€™s your money.
 
The only thing that interests me about the 25 CM is bullet availability and selection might improve for my 257 Bob reloading. Not that I have anything against the CM just redundant to me when I have a sweet spot for the Roberts. Its just old-school cool! IMO

I also shoot 6mm rem so not need for 6 CM or 243 for that matter. Though I probably will own a 243 at some point
