25 Souper or 25-06

I guess the question is how popular is the 25 Creedmoor/250AI/2Fity Hillbilly? Where are the die sales at?

Good question. I had to make up a set of dies for my 25 Creed. I’m using a Hornady 6.5 Creed seating die with a 25 caliber seating stem. The sizing die is also a Hornady , a 6.5 Creed bushing die.

Short action custom, Redding , and F-Class Products make 25 Creed dies.
Whidden allows you to custom order a die off fired brass or a reamer print I believe

25-06 Way to go.

All this 25 Caliber talk makes me want to turn my 90’s model 700 Sendero project into a 257 Weatherby. I have everything I need but the barrel.

Get a 1 in 8 twist or quicker barrel on it and you will have a long range beast!

I second Gerry's suggestion. Nothing wrong with the older 1:10 twist, but... a fast twist barrel will handle the new, longer 25 caliber bullets... With all the horsepower of the 257 Weatherby and a fast twist barrel... Well, my goodness... That could really be something.
