[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2808094, member: 116439"] I spoke with a what I consider to be an expert on the .25 and he told me that the .25x284 is great for hunting. The newest thing on the quarter bore is going to the Needmores. The 25 Needmore is already out and brass available and a big plus is that Hornady is making 134gr ELDM although I think that Berger has a better 135gr Target Bullet. The PRS circuit is dominated by the 6mm, BUT the .25 Needmore is going to enter into the picture. The Needmores are over taking the field due to Hornady having components available and Rifle manufactures ramping up and building faster twist barrels for the 6.5, 6mm, 25, & 22 Needmores. The .25x47 is also going to be popular. I am going to put this build on hold for a few months at least. We have Short & Long Actions on order and may take a few months to get. I still want to build a 25x284 for a great hunting rifle with a Manners, McMillan or even a Bell & Carlson stock. It would be hard to sell a 25-08 with the 25 Creed out. Longer, heavier, higher BC 25s bullets and fatter cases are going to be popular for shooting heavy deer and down size animals. IT IS JUST A GREAT CALIBER!!! [/QUOTE]
