Planning to extend my caliber collections to 25 Cal for non PRS, just general long range precision shooting around 800-1300yards but couldn't decide which caliber to go as I would need not just a barrel, but also dies, brass, reamer etc.
Currently only narrow down to 25 Creedmoor and 25 GT after eliminated 25 Dasher and 25 PRC due to lack of factory brass(didn't find anyone making for 25 Dasher and PRC, if I missed anything, please let me know).
Personally I am leaning towards the 25 GT as
1. Never had any GT calibers, have 6.5Creedmoor so want to try something from a different cartridge family.
2. Less recoil due to less powder charge comparing to 25 Creedmoor
3. Muzzle velocity is slower than 25 Creedmoor, but also means longer barrel life
4.I believe the supersonic distance for 25 GT would be shorter than 25 Creedmoor, google told me the GT can go as far as 1500 yards using 134/135gr bullet and 25 Creedmoor could go up to 1700yards. I wouldn't be matter that much as I don't usually have access to range can go that far.
Questions:
1.I heard GT in PRS sometimes having feeding issue, it doesn't matter to me that much as I normally just shoot the rifle as a single load. But it is good to know in case I want to shoot the gun in any PRS match in the future.
2.Any other factors or facts I should take into consideration?
Thanks in advance.
