[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2599923, member: 114992"] I’ve also got a 25creedmoor from PBB that I’m happy with. Shoots the 135s at 2830fps into nice small groups. I hunted with it last year and had great success on 5 different animals out to 670 yards. The barrel profile is annoyingly heavy though. I am trying a few other powders in the 25 creedmoor to squeeze some more performance out of it. I think if I can reach 2930 or so I would be happy enough to just hunt with it over the 25-284. Likely would get a new barrel in a lighter contour to build a “do everything” steel and hunting gun. I thought I would just shoot the 25creed for steel/fun and save the 25-284 for hunting but I don’t really like switching around so much after all. Interesting side note..25 creed has around 400 through the barrel and through the borescope it looks pristine. My 25-284 is fairly torn up in the throat with lots of fire cracking. The 25-284 also kicks harder, needs to be cleaned more frequently, and is a little more difficult to shoot accurately. It’s been a fun ride but in the future I think I’ll own a 25 creedmoor, and possibly add something like 25prc or sst to reliably reach the mid 3100’s to see a real performance boost over the creedmoor.
