[QUOTE="257 Blackjack, post: 1598845, member: 106220"] I said that was one of best parts about the article - the author threw a wide net for all kinds of shooters. The best part was when the author stated that the 25 Creed outperforms the most popular cartridge, the 6.5 creedmoor[I][B] (even with uncorrected 0.351 G7 referenced for the 0.335 G7 147 ELD M)[/B][/I], and one of the most popular PRS cartridges the 6 Creedmoor (although I would say the 6 Creed fits PRS Style matches very well despite the barrel life while the 25 Creed will hunt a little better with more energy). Also, the part when he reiterated what has been found with every report coming back from the field - 0.330 G7 is conservative - 0.5 mils at 1037 yds in his situation. We have heard this from a lot of shooters. Oehler 89 will be here in a couple of months and we will publish testing from different types of barrels and speeds. I don't think about shooting light-for-caliber bullets like the ones shown above, so I was glad he included them. We get a lot of questions about this but I don't have the time to test 20 different bullets/powders of similar performance for load data. Some guys don't mind starting on their own but the gross % of guys need reference data and most often with the exact cartridge and powder listed. [/QUOTE]
