I have not.
Is it .257? Isn’t that really splitting hairs on diameter? Vs .264 and .243?

It would be splitting hairs if it wasn't for the bullet it shoots. Old 257 bullets were not very competitive with modern 6mm and 6.5 bullets, but the new 131 and 135 bullets in 257 are very impressive.

I have a 6mm (.243) Creedmoor and it shoots pretty good.
5-shots, 200 yards.
I would think 25 Creedmoor would have slightly better range than 6mm Creedmoor due to bullet mass, maybe easier on barrels than 6mm Creedmoor. Slightly less recoil than 6.5mm Creedmoor. Seems a logical extension the Creedmoor family

What would be the Improvement of a 25 Creedmoor over using the new bullets in a 257 Roberts. Other than saying you shoot a creedmore.

Nothing, unless it is twisted right. The good bullets require a 7-8 twist, most Bob's wont have enough.

I was curious about this for the same reason as if somebody went to rebarrel a 22-250 why that wouldn't be way better than a 224 Valkyrie

25-6.5 Creedmore AKA 250 Ackley. Check the specs.

maybe likes firearms a little bit…
Because, as much as I like my Valkyrie, it is nowhere close to a fast twist 22-250.
I think of it as a differently shaped .223Rem.
A 22-250 is akin to a .22 caliber 7-08, nearly twice the case capacity.

I'm talking with a twist to support 88 hornadays and 90 smk. If it wasn't the barrel burner I would be doing it. Never herd of one doing this yet but very curious.Because, as much as I like my Valkyrie, it is nowhere close to a fast twist 22-250.

Yeah, my example was poor for the analogy, but an eight twist 22-250AI would be awesome. The Valk is a step down in capacity, in an action longer than an AR. The 220 swift has more even powder though, so I don’t consider the 250 to be too hard on a throat.
One could rechamber to a larger case with the same twist barrel in the hopes of driving a higher BC bullet fast enough for stability. But j in don’t know how practical this is.
And a 7-08 has more case capacity yet, but I should have said 22 Creedmoor!
Imagine a 75 grain Eldx at 3700fps+!
Not necessarily for eating what one is hunting.
There’s the barrel cooker.
Yet, I digress! Sorry, @coldboremiracle .
I have much love for the Quarterbore, and am glad to see some sleeker bullets be afforded to the caliber.

McGowen stainless prefit installed in a Savage 10 in a McRees Chassis
Straight bull barrel 27"
1:7 twist
Throated for Hornady 75 ELDs
~3400 fps is where I'm at with this one- haven't tried to push it any harder

75 and 77s are still in ar territory. A 90 would totally unexpected. How does it do in that accuracy department? I can immagine at those speeds you may be shedding jackets. Any problems there?

about 1/2" at 100 yards - it's consistently a tight cluster...never a single hole like my Dasher. I keep meaning to try some Bergers in her but still have the Hornadys to shoot up first.
no problem with jackets
the original owner had it built for Prarie Dog hunts and then he couldn't make the trips anymore.

Too funny, there is another thread going over at The Firing Line about the 250-3000/250Savage! Some talk in there also about the 257Roberts.
After talking with a few of our rifle league shooters I had to go investigate the 250 Savage as an alternative to the 223, 6mm and the 6.5 which everyone seems to be using. and curious because we are only shooting to 300yds.
