Iv been looking at these two calibers and wanted to know the pros and cons of each and how they preform and compare to eachother. Any suggestions, advice, or experience would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have looked at the swede and ruled it out to the 6.5 creedmoor
There are pro & cons to everything, and personally I wouldn't go with either.
For the 25wssm your biggest issue(for LR) is bullets.
Then, brass thickness, action design-->, mag feeding, ejection.
The 6.5x284 is a barrel burner and not as accurate as better suited capacities(like a 260AI(LR), or 6.5x47L or CM(MR))
You could step up to 6.5wssm & cover anything a 6.5x284 has potential for.
But you would need an early plan to do so. This is not off the shelf.
What's not to like about the 6.5 Wby RPM ? Lengthened 284 case, gives highest velocity of any 6.5 except for the supers, like 6.5 Wby Mag and 26 Nosler...Well there you go!
If you're a fan of the 6.5, go for the Creedmore.
The 25 cal thing will never work for you, might just as well give that up.
