Why I want a 25 creedmoor because it's the perfect caliber.

[7.62 Gunner]

I really want a 25creedmoor. I have lots of reasons....
There's lots of balistic reasons but none of those make too much sense in a common sense world.
Let me start by saying this. I own a 6.5creedmoor. I also own a 7remag. I also am an abrasive, contrary, a smart ***. If you say up I say down if you say old I say new....
Ok so balisticly the 25creed is better because out of a 22" tube it pushes a bullet of higher BC faster than a 6.5creed dose itj a 26" tube. Also it has better barrel life than all the 6mm bores.

Ok now let's get down to the emotional stuff.
The 25 creedmoor is awesome because it has creedmoor in its name and that ****es off half the folk. This means it should be able to kill the velociraptor/ Trex clones fairly easily as well as be perfect to take on a hunt in the new sasquatch season in Oklahoma.
Next it's 25caliber and that's bound to also **** some people off because there's no milly-meeter equivalent. It's more American than the 30 cal because 30 cal isn't a fraction of an inch- but 25 cal is!!! It shares a bore with only a few cartridges- the 25-06, 257roberts, 257wetherby. and 250savage. Since it's better than all the 6mils it will make more people mad because it's 25. Simply put anyone who has a 25 cal has it on purpose because THEY WANTED to BE DIFFERENT.
So is the 25creedmoor perfect for my personality? Of course such a rebel caliber would have to be built on a defiance action....

What do y'all think? Will this kill more dinosaurs and make more folk perplexed or should I just stick with the 65.creedmoor....?

Let me know your most emotional opinions.
Does shooting a 1/4 bore make you contrary? If you shoot a 1/4bore did you decide to do it because you were contrary already?
Does combining the 1/4bore with creedmoor make the single most contrary cartridge out there yet?

Cheers!

If you really want to be a continuous rebel build a 6.5x284 like an original gangster
That way you can tell all the creed and prc bros that you fixed the Hornady problem

25 Creedmoor Blaster FTW. I love this Creedmoor variant because it just works!

131 Blackjack & 135 Berger LRHT are flat trajectory, wind defying heat seekers.

H4350 is a very good go-to, compromise powder, but it's not the perfect powder. Slower powders work more better.

Curious what slower powders you speak of

Sorry to break the news, but .308 is closer to a fraction than .257 haha.

5/16 = .312
1/4= .250

More bad news, the 6.5 is .264" which is actually 6.7cm
The 257" is actually 6.528cm.
I'll stick with the 250 Sav AI which is basically the same but heading for 80 years older.

4831 is being used in a lot of the 25s I've seen and they are getting pretty speeds from what I understand.

 

[Andrew Massi]

So the 250 savage?

 

[GrayCreed]

Only if you call it the 6.3 creedmoor.

Oh I REALLY like that! I started this thread to find ideas like THIS.

 

[GrayCreed]

Here's my quarter bore. Model 7MS.257 Roberts.

Dangdit MAn I have a weakness for mancliner stocks. You are a rebel for owning not only a 1/4 bore but an AI!

 

[GrayCreed]

Not sure how much of this is satire or if you are truly interested in this wildcat…but it's a good one! Very mild recoil, no problem spotting impacts without a brake. The BC on the new bullets will keep velocities above minimum expansion a LONG ways out…farther than 99% of guys should shoot at an animal.

It's actually 100% real I want a 25creed, but also there is alot of satire emotion to it because practicality states I don't NEED another rifle because I already have .22, 556, 65cm, 30-30, 7remmag.

I really want the 25creednfor it's pure perfect performance. Also yes a 65-284 is on the list just to **** the 65prc guys off.
It's abrasive contraryness adds so much fuel to my fire i just want it so bad though really

How bout superformance or 100v?

I would try Reloader23

 

[GrayCreed]

When I do it I'ma have to change my name on here to QuarterCreed

 

[GrayCreed]

Heres what time would build:

Defiance ANTiX
Proof 1:7 22" sendero
Trigger tech diamond
AG composite Alpine hunter
Hawkins AI Bottom metal
Hawkins rings
Leupold Mk6 3-18 tremor3
Dead Air brake

Too bad the 25WSSM faded away. We had one for Jill and took to Africa. Toof a few animals there as well as whitetails here. It was in a Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Super Shadow Stainless 24" Mossy Oak Break Out. At first shot great then started to open up. Sent it back, but now it was owned by Browning. Browning would not send the rifle back. Said it was a safety issue. We fought with them over the replacement (they wanted to give us an "A" bolt. We wanted our money back. Any way we ended getting money back but got screwed on the shipping/tax and some other costs.
Really liked that caliber. A lighter recoil of a 25.06 and higher velocity. We ended up giving away all our brass and loaded ammo.
