.25 Creed! But Why?

@Potsie
You really know how to start something.

I see a direct correlation between cartridge freaks and IPA fanboys.

I love different cartridges.
But pass the keystone, coors light or Budweiser please.

I’m like @brockel and love new cartridges - the numbers, ballistics, and comparison between different ones really “tickles my ‘tism.”

But definitely not an IPA guy, I don’t even drink.

I'm joking...should have included a wink.

I think the heavy for cal 25 bullets strike a great balance between weight and BC. You need the 150+ class 6.5s to beat them in BC but then you need even more powder/recoil to get velocity.

I’ve got plenty of 6.5 and 6mm barrels and components to keep me busy for a while but I’ll strongly consider a 25x47 or 25 creed when the 6.5s are toast. The 6s still do something different enough when it comes to recoil and velocity IMO.

Looks like weatherbys learning. Better to adapt the superior sellinf cartridges quicker rather than wait

22 creedmoor will be a winner for them.

Jumping on the (free) hype wagon.

I love my 25-06. 25CM sounds intriguing but I figure in 12 months SAAMI specs will exist for 25 Backcountry, 25 PRC, 25 Western and someone will SAAMI a 25 MineIsBetterThanYours

I can’t believe ruger and savage hasn’t jumped on the bandwagon. They’d sell a ton of 22 creedmoors

I wondered who would do it first weatherby would not have been my guess

Problem is they aren’t doing it in their cheap vanguard

Close enough for government work: https://westtexordnance.com/25-7-prc-cartridge-development-and-test-results/

Basically a modernized .257Wby twisted for high BC bullets.

That is sexy, and it would fit in a Tikka…

Hope to have a range report with my very own 25-7 built on a Tikka action in the next week or two!

Barrel length?

Those are in arc cartridges. Wouldnt suprise me if that changes soon. All that hype, you know.

Barrel length?

24" Lilja No. 4 contour.

Plan is to run Hornady 134gr. ELD-Ms through it but also have a box of Sierra's MK resurrection of the 131gr. BlackJack to play with. Will also work up hunting loads with the 127gr. Hammer HHT and possibly the brand new Hornady 128gr. ELD-X. Should be living in the mid-3200s with the ELD-Ms (but SD is going to be a lot more important in those than raw speed) and the 3325-3350 range with the Hammers.

Edited to add: might stick a 67gr. Stone Hammer in a couple just to see if I can hit Mach Jesus.

I knew the howa 1500 was but didn’t know the vanguard was
