[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 3041818, member: 125161"] PRS world has several top shooters using 25 now as alternative to 6 and 6.5. Chasing the balance between low recoil, cutting wind, and splash on target for corrections. The 130+ grain projectiles are the key. 25 Creedmoor obvious choice as "easy" since initially using 6/6.5 Creedmoor brass but as now 25 Creedmoor brass available. Some are also trying to use 25 GT and 25x47 for reduced powder capacity brass. Most using a 6.5 parent sizing die with appropriate bushing for 25. 308 and 284 family host brass would be better for hunting but not optimized for PRS "game" as too much powder capacity. I compete with some 25 shooters - 130+ grain projectiles hit steel (and dirt) much "harder" than 105s so much easier to see impacts and make corrections. Less recoil than the 6.5. [/QUOTE]
