SAAMI has approved 25 Creedmoor (Hornady)

[hereinaz]

I just saw this on SAAMI site, 25 Creedmoor was approved, and sponsored by Hornady. I know Hornady announced it was making brass last year.

Anyone seen any other announcements?

With Hornady, Berger, and Sierra all making very high BC 131-138gr bullets in 25 cal it's kind of resurrected and breathed new life in to the 25's and made them about as popular as I've ever seen.

People can love em or hate em but I think Hornady has been doing a good job of bringing things to the shooting world that actually appeal to large groups instead of niche market items. With so much new interest in 25's standardizing the 25 Creedmoor is a smart play. If the interest level maintains for the 25 cals I would expect them to do the same thing with a 25 PRC based off a necked down 6.5PRC.

25 PRC would be a sweet addition. I run a 25 SST which is a short mag. Love it with the 133s

Unlike the creedmoor which was a rip off of the 260, the 6 creed which is a rip off of the 243, the 300 PRC which doesn’t do anything the 300 win would do, the 7 PRC which doesn’t do anything the 7 mag would do, or the 22 creed which is duplicating a fast twist 22-250, the 25 creed is actually filling a niche. Of course it’s not doing anything the old as dirt 257 Roberts or 25-06 with fast twist barrel could do. Folks line up for Hornady, so there’s no reason they won’t fall all over themselves with the 25.
