25 RPM or 25 Creedmoor

[Ironworker]

I have a 22 CM,when bbl is burned out. I'm thinking of a 25 CM. But then the 25 RPM came out, I'd have to buy a new rifle for that? Is the extra 100FPS worth it?

thats a question each person will have to determine for themselves

All around use, recoil and barrel life the 25 CM is kind of a Goldilocks cartridge. If I was looking for more performance then a 25 CM could provide AND I needed to buy something new to make it happen I'd look at something like the 25-6.5PRC, 25 RSAUM, 25 Western, 25 WSM, or 25-7PRC. No factory ammo for any of them and you'll need to have one built but they are all just straight necked down cartridges with top shelf brass available for them and easy to obtain bushing dies.

I'm a little biased since I have one but my 25 RSAUM turned out extremely well slinging the 134 ELD-M out a 22in Bartlein at 3200. I think Alex Wheeler's 25-6.5PRC builds are real close to that with the Berger 133's and I have friends shooting 135 Berger's from 25-7PRC's at 3200-3200+ and are very happy with them.

If you are shooting factory ammo only, for me, it wouldn't be worth it and I would 100% take my chances with a 25 Creed over the 25 RPM.

I have a Bat Igniter action. It fits a 6.5 PRC nicely. That 25-6.5 PRC looks very interesting.

That's what I had my 25 RSAUM built on and because they're cut for the long 3.18magazines I used Unknown Munitions det. mag setup that allows me a OAL of up to 3.150 which gives me more then enough room.

I've been a huge BAT fan for years and they're local to me which makes it even better. There are a number of extremely nice custom actions out there but I don't know of any that are better then a BAT.
