[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2808184, member: 114992"] 25x284 is about perfect in a “mid” action with the 135s. Ideal for a tikka or similar build. It would not work as well in a short action. 25 creedmoor is perfect in a short action. In my rifles the 25 creedmoor was within 100fps of my 25x284 shooting the same bullets, same barrel length. The effective hunting distance for both is beyond what I can shoot effectively in the field. My conclusion was 25 creedmoor is giving me plenty of velocity and terminal performance with less recoil and muzzle blast. And the throat erosion on the 284 was pretty intense after only 400 rounds…25 creedmoor is hardly showing any cracking the throat after 800 now. Both were “inherently” accurate and easy to load for, with a slight nod to the 284 case for easier load development and smaller overall group size. [/QUOTE]
