[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2806669, member: 55944"] It depends on what is more important to you. I think the 308 case is pushing the OAL limit in a standard short action and the 284 is just too long. However, if you are into Tikka actions or modifying the Remington short action with a Wyatt's extended mid-length box that changes everything. If you just want speed, and speed kills, I'd go with the 25-284, but if you want a little less powder and similar performance the 25-08 would be a pretty easy neck down of 260 Lapua brass. I lean towards a simple, seat bullets and go, approach. Therefore I happen to be building a pair of 25 creedmoors one heavy and one light and for competition and hunting. I hope they like the Berger 135 and 133! [/QUOTE]
