25 Creedmoor necks the popular 6.5 Creedmoor case to .25 caliber, producing a flat-shooting cartridge suited to deer-sized game and target shooting with recoil many find mild for its performance. It existed as a wildcat before recent factory standardization, so factory ammunition is comparatively new and less widely stocked. It is used for medium-game hunting and target and long-range shooting. It suits hunters and target shooters drawn to a flat-shooting quarter-bore who can accept a newer ammunition supply.
