Just curious: why do you dislike Spomer? He strikes me as a nice guy, although I've hardly watched any videos of his
Who tee Who will tell Ya Case is shorter to give more head height for the long bullets, capacity is about 10% smaller

Ya, the 6.5 holds just over 80gr H²O and looks like he 25 holds just over 70gr
I can't believe all the hate this is already getting.....lets see your FACTORY 25-06 shoot a 133gr Berger at 3000+fps in a 22" barrel, accurately. It wont. You don't have the barrel twist to stabilize it.
Not everyone wants to re-barrel a rifle to be able to shoot a heavy bullet. And to the "YoU DoNt NeEd A HeAvY bULLeT tO HuNt" crowd......you don't NEED a Hemi in your truck but its nice to have it sometimes.....
Personally I cant wait for this. And I have a 257 wby mag already. Ive wanted a fast twist 25 for about a year now and couldn't make up my mind between a 25-6.5 PRC or a 25 SAUM. I even looked into a 25-06 AI but then you're fire forming and I didn't want to do that. Ive done the AI
I feel like the 25 RPM will shine for the handloaders like me. We all know the difference between factory ammo vs reloads. If I can push a 133-135gr Berger 3100+fps in a 22" barrel i'd be thrilled.
And lastly, heres the Weatherby Podcast explaining their reasoning as to why they did the 25 RPM, why they waited years to release it and why they didn't just do fast twist 257 wby mag.

If you wait for SHOT, i bet that you will be able to pickup a 6.6 need-no-more-super-duper-uber-ultra-turbo-max.
Joking aside, i hope that it fills your void.
To me, it just seems like these cartridges of late are job security-make work projects

So the whole benefit is running a 130+ bullet it seems.
I’m not into doing a simple search so who makes a good hunting bullet in this weight range in 25?
Is a 130+ partition available?
What’s the heaviest TTSX?
As a casual observer on the outside has heavy for caliber hunting bullets caught up to the new 25’s?
Not asking about target bullets or rebranded target bullets for hunting.
