It's interesting how long range shooting is influencing the choice of a hunting cartridge these days, with faster twist rates to stabilise long low drag bullets etc. I posted on another thread a while ago that I have never looked at ballistic coefficient when choosing a hunting bullet in over 20 years. Any standard pointed hunting bullet would fly flat enough to kill a deer out to 400 yards despite having an average BC.
The .25 CM will probably never be commercialised but it would make a dandy little mild moderate range deer round about identical to the .257 Roberts and look how many fellas on here have a soft spot for that grand old round. Nobody talks about loading super low drag bullets in the Roberts so why with the .25 CM? It would fix the debate about long or short action length with the Roberts and would make a great first cartridge for new shooters in a trim light little rifle. But I guess there are enough .257 Roberts and .250 Savages around to cater for the few hunters looking for a mild .25 calibre.
if you can shoot 100 gr and 120 gr bullets out of the 6.5 creedmoor, what does a 25 creedmoor do for you?
unless you have a stack of .257 barrels or .257 bullets you need to use?
