For SA my shots will not be over 500 yards.
But, I have had serious winds the last time (on one day hunting a Blesbuck) I was there, so a reasonable BC is important.
The 168 LR AB G1 BC @ .616 and the 160 LRX .608 G1 BC.
I could go with the 175 grain LR AB with a .648 BC, but I will need to...
The 168 LRAB
The 175 LRAB
The 160 gr LRX
I have the most bullets on hand above.
I am going to start and get my brass fireformed to my chamber with 162 A-Max's.
Once I have 100 rounds through it, I will start with either the 168 LRAB or the 160 LRX

Holland Radial Baffle brake.
Borden Alpine clone XP-100 single-shot action
Dell Trigger
McMillan Stock.
I have new Norma brass.

I am not going to be helpful as so far my only 25 Creed has a 14" barrel (Hornady brass).
110 AB at 2726 fps
I will be getting a sub 16" 25 Creed in the near future though. Almost 2 inches more of barrel...Will start with the 134 ELD-M's though
Brands of Brass I use the most:
Lapua, Norma, Alpha, ADG, and Peterson.
Mainline brass I use the most is Hornady-Mainly because I use factory match ammo for Loaner guns for WY-SHOT, so I have a lot of it
Long-Range...The distance you are competing at or the MAX distance you are hunting at, is the ultimate proof of your load, if the distances you will be shooting is beyond your 100, 200 and sometimes 300 yard load development.
For many people, what I wrote above will not apply, as they do not...
