What others are saying about the 25 Creedmoor
"Is Hornady's New 25 Creedmoor the Best Creed Yet? Our shooting editor's own wildcat cartridge is now Hornady's new 25 Creedmoor. Here's why he thinks it's the best hunting cartridge in the Creedmoor family."

"I really saw the benefits. Faster (2850 fps) and lower recoiling than the 6.5, better B.C. than anything, the 6mm Creedmoor was slinging, and with more barrel life, the 25 Creedmoor was the Goldilocks cartridge. Together with an initial push from Black Jack, we had all proven the incremental gains, and the demand was there. Berger and, shortly after, Hornady saw this rising demand in the quarter bore space and released the 133 Elite Hunter, 135 Long Range Hybrid, and the 134 Eld-M, respectively.”
