I know. I saw that. It's a pretty sweet concept. I think Q is making one in their fix.

Bump to an older thread.
I just picked up my new 25 Creed from Axisworks yesterday. I already had test loads built, with the bullet seated long, so I found lands when I got it home and found CBTO to lands, then reseated the 131 Blackjack to just kissing the lands.
Defiance Deviant Tactical SA full Nitride
26" 1:7.5" Brux "Sendero" contour
TBAC CB w. TBAC 6.5mm Ultra 7 & Armageddon Gear cover
Manners PRS2 w. Gen 2 mini chassis (I have an EH1A w. Gen 2 mini chassis that is supposed to be here next week, whichever is heavier will go on the 25CM)
BixN' Andy Tac Sport Pro @ 4oz
Premier Heritage 5-25x56 Gen 2XR
Seekins 6/4 34mm "low" rings
14lbs 7oz scoped and suppressed
Lapua 6CM SRP brass necked up with an expanding mandrel to .255"
CCI BR4
H4350
131 Blackjack @ 2.180" CBTO (.000" jump)
I will also test the 135 LR Hyb and find a good load for that bullet too. Just in case Blackjack never gets the 131 back in stock. I have about 600 of the 131s, and 1450ish of the 135 LR Hyb.

Let us know how it goes. My Krieger barrels likes the 131s, BR4s, and 43.3gr of H4350. It loves the Berger 115s and Varget.
I think you asked on another thread about a 260ai 140 load. I run the same 43.3gr of H4350 there with great accuracy, but the 25cm is 100 FPS faster with basically the same BC...
That looks like winner winner there, NICE!
I'v about 600 precious unloaded Blackjacks myself, that's why I'v switched to the Berger's and they are for sure available.
Sweet settup dude!

Adjusted and shot this 3 shot group.
Got up to 2976fps with no pressure running the 131 BJs.

Lance, looks like you have a winner there. Would you mind walking me through the thought process of using SRP vs LRP as well as necking up from 6mm vs necking down from 6.5mm? Prior to reading your post here, if I had built a 25 CM last month I would have necked down 6.5 LRP brass with my only reasoning being that .264 to .257 is a smaller gap than .243 to .257 and I have more LRP's than SRP's. I will admit I'm completely ignorant to the pros & cons of using SRP vs LRP other than I assume LR is hotter. Same thing with necking up or down, ignorance. If I had to venture a guess the primers would relate to es/sd consistency and necking up with mandrel results in less time spent on brass prep. Perhaps it's just what you had available. Just trying to learn something new.

I think Peterson makes head-stamped 25 Creedmoor brass, that might be a good way to go.
