[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1715663, member: 68875"] I have/had a few quarter bores too. .250-3000 Savage, .250AI, .25-06 Rem, .25-06AI, and I have a 25SST that should be ready any day, maybe even today. A 25 Creedmoor is comparable to the .250AI in case capacity and velocity. I used to push a 115 Berger @ 3050 in my 23" .250AI. I can push a 115 Berger @ 3065 in my 6CM if I lean on it. I would bet a 131 Blackjack could run 2850ish in a 25 CM, I get 2888 w. 130 OTM in my 22" barrel 6.5SLR and 2850 in a 24" 6.5CM. The benefit to a 25 Creedmoor is you can get headstamped brass to match your barrel markings. A plus if you hunt out of the country, like Mexico or Canada. Other than that, no gain over what you have. If you want a suggestion, rebarrel your .25-06AI to a 1:7.5" and run the 131 Blackjack to really push the HP. Or for a SA, build something like a 25SST.
