25 creedmoor or 25-06?

Oh I'm definitely guilty of the above. There's been times I've gone back an read my own post and thought now how the hell could anyone understand what I was saying when I don't understand it and I'm the one who wrote it.

I’m a huge fan of the 25-06, I’ve owned three over the years, deadly. That being said if I was looking for another quarter bore I’d probably run with the creed if choosing between the 2, proper head stamped brass would be nice. I’m currently enjoying a 25x47, it’s been awesome on deer and vermin, I do wish I could get proper head stamped brass for it though. No wrong choice in my opinion but I’ve always been a 25 caliber fan.

25x47lai is what I have been wanting and I just cant seem to justify a reamer for two battels‍. But I just have to except i need it that bad.

When you look at the 25 Creedmoor compared to the 6.5 version with same type of bullet weight(close), that .007 in neck reduction must spike a lot of pressure. I noticed some charges drop from 44 grains down back to around 38 for the .257 round.

I think of it as the total bore volume reduction. Same mass and all that gas being pushed through a smaller tube. Changes the behaviour considerably. I can use N555 in with a 144gr bullet in 260Rem and a 107gr bullet in 6GT. Presumably that smaller bore means the lighter bullet is creating similar conditions to the heavier bullet in a larger bore...

I have three 25-06 rifles and no 25 creed so for me its 25-06

aim small / shoot small

I'm with you here. I have two .25-06 rifles and two .243 rifles and one .260 Rem rifle. I have no needs or wants for any of the Creedmore cartridges. I can do anything I need to do without any of them.

I'm not against anyone getting a Creedmore of their choice; I just don't have the "Needsmore" for one.

Not calling out anyone in particular, but the teacher (37 years) in me can't help but mention ..... does anyone know the difference between "than" and "then" these days? I see this so often, on so many different forums, and it drives me crazy! Everyone seems to use "then" exclusively.

What bothers me most about it is that the person using "then", when "than" is obviously the proper word in the context they are using it, may actually be making a valid point. Once I see the misuse of the word, however, I discount anything the poster has to say.

I realize it is a personal problem, just had to get it off my chest. This string i

Different from and different than.... is the one that always gets me. My mom was a school teacher//English, grammar, and punctuation. She corrected me whenever I got it wrong. I am right 50-50 in my usage.
