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

[blacktail 8541]

I don't have a 25 creedmoor, but I have a 25 souper (25-308). I have had it for at least 10 years. I had it built because I thought it would be a great little round for coyotes as well as the Blacktail deer I love to hunt. And it is.

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!

It's really a 25 Thompson Center.

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

I'm waiting for the 500 Creedmoor to be released. I hear it will be out late next week!

I never thought I'd build anything creedmoor but I'll be screwing on my 25 creedmoor barrel in a week or so.

Im a fan of the 25s. I have a 2506ackley and 257 roberts, both 1-10 twists. When the heavier bullets came out, I decided to build another 25 with faster twist.

Defiance tenacity
Hawkins hunter DBM
Brux #3 1-8 at 24 inches
Have not ordered stock yet but thinking about trying AG composites

Plan to shoot 133 bergers.

Speaking of the quarter caliber I went out and put together a 25.45 on an AR platform. It's OK but thinking of going with a bolt action to incrase accuracy.

25.08 has been out for quite a few years!

 

[sika64]

Guys if anyone has a mind too, I have a 25 WSSM Encore upper for sale.

How many rounds through it ? I'm very interested

 

[Pat Byrne]

I've done a few .25 Creeds.. I've been chastised a bit, their loss, I guess..

I started using them as coyote rifles. Used the 100 grain ballistic tip mainly. Also some 115 Bergers.
With both 4166 and 4064 I am getting 3,300 fps with the 100grn bullet.. Posting that before is what earned me some distain from doubters.
I've only used the 6.5 Lapua SMALL primer pocket brass. I believe this brass enables you to achieve more velocity, undoubtedly
at higher than normal pressure. However, my loads exhibit no pressure signs and the brass has really good life. Been using a Redding Type S
die with the approbate bushing to take it to .25. Simple one pass and done, after all only sizing the neck down an additional .007''.
In the last several years have done .22 creeds, 6's, .25 and 6.5.. All are a step up from comparable rounds and I think the brass quality is a huge factor in their goodness.. My story, I'm sticking to it..

 

[340Wby-4-everything]

I'm still trying to get past perfect and creedmore (needmore) in the same sentence. Does not compute , danger Will Robinson.

 

[Calvin45]

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

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

I was gonna just say 3/10 = 30 cal.

 

[Mike Matteson]

I am noting a lot of talk on 4831. Now there 2 powders that use that number. It would be a lot better if noted that's H or IMR powders. The IMR powder is subject to extreme heat change. Both in IMR 4350 and IMR 4831. Especially in using max loads.

 

[BigNate]

While I respect going against the grain quite a lot, I can't understand the blasphemy of putting .25 in front of Creedmoor. In fact it's cringe worthy.

I have a couple quarterbore rifles including 25wssm, a Roberts, and a 25-06, and still find myself tempted to do a 25 Souper, or 257 DGR. Either of these should have been adopted as a factory cartridge, way before creating yet another attempt at duplicating the 6.5 Sweede!

 

[arizonahunter]

Just used my 25 creed on a desert big horn in dec. Kimber Montana 24" Blake rifle barrel 1-7.5 shooting 131 blackjack at 400 yds rifle is under 8 lbs Used rl-26 srp alpha munitions brass shoots 2915 fps and as long as I do my part shoots1/2 inch at 100 I think it's a great cartridge
