[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2749742, member: 106514"] True. I wouldn't consider anything faster than 9 were I not tailoring to the ultra-long bullets over 130 grains. The entire boattail of these bullets will be below the neck/shoulder junction, as the short neck is just enough to grab the .25 cal bullet. I'm thinking of progressing with the .090" freebore .25 Creedmoor I have a reamer for. Doesn't have to be fancy. A 9 twist McGowen or Douglas XX barrel would be ideal, but 10 twist is acceptable if I can find one in stock faster. I, too, had a .25-06 AI. I learned that I LOATHE fireforming brass! I also hate using double the powder, primers, and bullets as hard as they are to come by. I could get a good pre-fit from PVA for a 1:7 .25 Creedmoor, but I have no interest in launching ultra-heavy-for-caliber bullets from a Creedmoor case. Many guys love it, just doesn't tickle my fancy as much as ultra-high velocity capability. [/QUOTE]
