[QUOTE="scheme, post: 2407384, member: 117961"] I will build a .25 creed sometime soon, probably in a large format AR platform for a dedicated, thermal wearing, night coyote gun. A .25-06 was my first centerfire rifle that my dad and I built on a mauser action. I’ve had something in .257 since then, and have accumulated a lot of bullets from 75 up to the new heavies. Have a .25-06AI with a fast twist shooting the Blackjacks for the last couple of years, and it’s a laser. With all the bullets on the shelf, might as well build something to shoot them…. Also, have a lot more small rifle primers than large at this point, so that also makes sense. I will say I’d like it better if it wasn’t named Creedmoor, but I won’t be too embarrassed to tell people… I did build a .260 rem a couple of years ago just to go against the 6.5 creed crowd, and while it does what I wanted it to, OAL has been a factor, even building it to try and minimize that being a problem to the extent possible. So, “they” had some points… Finding any data for the .25 creed and lighter bullets is a challenge though, so if you could share some info from your experience, that would be great! [/QUOTE]
