[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1529161, member: 72601"] If your comparing apples to apples if you have a 131 bj bullet then you have to go to the 150smk or 147 eld as those are the highest bc bullets for each class. I feel 3000 fps with h4350 with the 131 in a 25 creed is a bit optimistic and probably a fairly warm load. If it was rl-26 then I'd absolutely believe it. Running a 131 at 3000 fps and a 150 smk at 2800-2850, your never going to notice any real advantages over one or the other. Comparable wind drift, energy goes to the 6.5, trajectory goes to the 25 and recoil. although with a brake, then again you'd never know the difference. This new 25 cal bullet isnt earth shattering, but it just gives us another option if we like. Only time will tell where this heads. If any of the bigger major bullet manufacturers start building bullets like the 131 then I might build one, but i wont build a whole entire setup around just one bullet. each his own.
