SAAMI has approved 25 Creedmoor (Hornady)

You guys are making me want to spend money. I spent all 9f last year talking myself out of a 6 creed and a 22 creed, guess this year it is the 25 creed.

G7 BC of the 25 certainly beats the 6 (and my 243).
I love me some 133 Bergers.

My 25cm barrel should arrive this week from PBB. Have 100 alpha brass. Anyone seen the Berger 133s around? Can get the 135s and 134eldm from my LGS but haven't seen the 133s anywhere.
I have my stash from the preorder of Bergers first run. I stocked up for one barrels life.
 
been very pleased with my two 25 creedmoor builds. Both barrels have been stupid easy to load for, no weird carbon rings or crazy barrel speed ups. Great performance from mild mannered and easy to obtain powders too.

I am curious how “over pressure” the common loads are going to be when load data comes out 😬

Probably a lot. I have run across quite a few CM loads that approach what I am getting from my prc.

Seems to be quite common that people post loads that are faster than book loads and/or develop cartridges that have exceptional speed vs saami loadings of similar spec. Imho what we consider pressure signs are not there until well beyond saami specs. If we could actually pressure test, I bet most fast loads are all overpressure by a little.
 
NICE!

The 134 is way better ballistically than the 140 with no real difference terminally.

It will be the “go to” small caliber for the “6 mm is still too small crowd.”

Looks like I should do a 25 creed barrel presale now…

With this announcement I've been doing mental gymnastics as to what I get next. I really hate to mess with my 25-06, I just really like it.

I'm now thinking of rebarreling my current 6 Creed to 25 Creed after my next 6mm comes in sometime this summer. 🤔

Never sacrifice a rifle for another rifle, just get both.

Tell your wife some random guys on the internet said it was ok 👍🏼
 
As I'm running numbers AB has the G7 slightly less .317 vs .325 than Hornady lists. Is that bc the AB litz guy tests it himself? Why the discrepancy and which one would you leans towards?

Every time I have messed with something that worked I have regretted it.

Yes, I think I posted in your other fb read about doing 25CM.

I want a 16” fluted profile to match the tikka super light profile. :)
 
Wonder how fast a 20” barrel would push the 128 and 134. 2700-2800?
My 23" with lapua brass and 134s using rl16 is spicy at 2900+, I'd say a 20" version of my barrel would be getting to that same level likey just past 2800. I'd not run the rifle there, back it down to mid/low 2700s. At this point a 6cm with 290-300g7 bullets going 100-150+ fps faster is a better mousetrap.
