25 Creedmoore with hunting bullets

[sharpshooter_308]

I'm playing with the idea of rebarreling a Savage 6.5 CM to 25 CM. I see a lot of info on the 130gr class bullets but not too much on the 100-120gr. Anyone playing with them? How about slinging that weight in a 7.5 twist? I know slower twist would be ideal but I'm not sure if I would want to try some heavy stuff or not.

Thanks

Hammer bullets has good info on 25 cal,if I remember correctly,I do believe you can buy sample packs from them.
He suggested 92- 100gr in the Hammer,For deer hunting here in Ks.92 gr Hammer out of my 17.5" Xp-100, 3250fps, the 127 Hammer was a no go, as it's ogive is farther foward than the 135 bergers,that the chamber is cut for. The 127 had to be seated to far in case,ogive was below mouth,powder capacity was greatly reduced.These are the only two bullets I have used.92 hammer at 3250,the 135 barnes at 2670
Used the 92 on a doe, walking along my 1/4 mile line,just shy of 400 yards,exit hole was Quarter+ size with some bone fragments.

The 115s thru the 135 of the Berger line should work well for hunting or target work. The 115s out of a 250 Savage does some serious work on deer size game. I would imagine they would do the same out of the Creed case.
