[QUOTE="Pat Byrne, post: 2407080, member: 105361"] I've done a few .25 Creeds.. I've been chastised a bit, their loss, I guess.. I started using them as coyote rifles. Used the 100 grain ballistic tip mainly. Also some 115 Bergers. With both 4166 and 4064 I am getting 3,300 fps with the 100grn bullet.. Posting that before is what earned me some distain from doubters. I've only used the 6.5 Lapua SMALL primer pocket brass. I believe this brass enables you to achieve more velocity, undoubtedly at higher than normal pressure. However, my loads exhibit no pressure signs and the brass has really good life. Been using a Redding Type S die with the approbate bushing to take it to .25. Simple one pass and done, after all only sizing the neck down an additional .007''. In the last several years have done .22 creeds, 6's, .25 and 6.5.. All are a step up from comparable rounds and I think the brass quality is a huge factor in their goodness.. My story, I'm sticking to it.. [/QUOTE]
