I never understood why 120 grains is the heaviest .25 slug anyone ever made. Why not 125,130 or even 135. Just run a faster twist barrel like everyone else does when shooting heavy 22's or 6mm's? I bet a 25-06 or 257 Roy firing a 130 or 135 grain slug could really get it done way out there and compare to the 6.5's.
It isn't. There was a fellow a few years back making 150 grain bullets for the .25s. Used a 7" twist. Haven't heard much about it in over a decade.
I am..........disturbed.

I guess if one wants a factory rifle and/or accurate factory ammo option it's a good one.
That said it seems that Lapua 260 brass has alot of Tactical guys running back to that round about 10-1 vs. the CM or 47L. So it seems.
I have (2) 6.5 sporters in the works, one or both will be in 260. Owned a few over the years - very balanced round IMO i.e. blast/recoil/accuracy/ballistics/barrel life, and kills alot of game well.
No doubt the Creed more or less overlaps w/260 and 6.5x55 performance. Not a bad place to be.
