Realistically I don’t need the velocity of the 284 and should just go with the 25 creed. Plus unknown loads for 25 creed and saves me the trouble of messing with loading my own. But there’s something about the thought of that 133 Berger going 3000fps that gives me warm fuzzies.You are absolutely right on the tikka mag issue. 25-06 is too long, you end up .07 or so from the lands at mag length with saami spec reamer. 25-284 fits perfect with the blackjack reamer and it’s an easy neck down from 6.5-284 lapua brass. I necked down 30-06 lapua to 25-06 but it requires neck turning.
I still think 25 creed is a better option unless you need a really short barrel and need to kill beyond 700 yards.
