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

Well I am glad I came up on this post. Several years ago I was thinking about building a 25 cal. based on a 308 Win. case I wanted it for a whitetail deer rifle. Though I may going a little out in left field, I was getting ready to retire. One of the thing that bothered me was magazine length for longer heavy bullets in a hunting rifle in a short action, And feed problems. The 6.5 Creedmore case is shorter would help some with longer bullets in a short action.
Then I read that Melvin Forbes had designed the stock for for the New Kimber Montana. I bought a Kimber Montana in 300 WSM.

I should have my new LH Archimedes action in a couple more weeks, but it will get the 6.5 CM barrel that currently resides on the only RH Savage action that I have left. That barrel is in the last 3rd of it's useful life, so I've already planned on getting a 25 CM barrel for it.
I sold my 25-06 a while back, but still have a boat load of bullet's in 100 gr - 120 gr, so all I'll need to do is change the bushing out in my sizing die.
I built a 22 CM a couple years ago, and love shooting it, so building a 25 CM just makes sense to me!

About exactly how I described why I built my 25-284 over rebarreling my 6.5-284. I feel the same way. Makes sense but not enough to make someone build one if they already have a 6.5-284. I do have one but still built the 257 brother. I'll know more if that decision was the right one.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!

Keeping pace with the first half of your post…. 25 creedmoor is a cartridge, combining a caliber and case, making it a cartridge not a 25 creedmoor caliber. This is the you in me in coming out…. 
1/4 bore has always been a argumentative subject. I've had a couple, years and years and years ago. I was all snobbish about it too. Back then it was 30 cal or go home. Wait, still is today…. Anyway, I never jumped back on the wagon but if things ever get to the point it's more than 1 bullet maker offering worth a crap (debatable) I'd consider a 25 prc for predators. Be kind of fun to be all snobbish about a caliber again. I'll even drink pinky high to ensure my elevated status is well known.

A .22 creed has more energy and speed than the .25 pal!! Chew on that buddy
We gave the brass and ammo to a member on LRH. His daughter is now slaying deer with the 25WSSM!
Yes that's the original name actually

Guys if anyone has a mind too, I have a 25 WSSM Encore upper for sale.
I like "Defiance Action"
I like "better barrel life than 6mm's"
Better yet 257 Roberts Imp. in a long action
Stick with the 6.5C --- of course I you really really need to complicate shooting life with a new $$$$ rig then go for it
REMEMBER THE 308 IS THE ULTIMATE "SOY BOY" CARTRIDGE. AN EMASCULATED 30-06 THAT KICKED LESS

what I've witnessed is that most Creediots have no clue in the huge difference between caliber & cartridge ...
heck, most of them call a cartridge a "bullet" hahahahahaha !
