I think there is a future in 25 for LR competition and hunting again with these new projectiles on the market (there will surely be more projo options available soon enough)
For hunting a 130 ish grain round is tame enough but carries some energy to distance.
From the PRS side it is popular because it bridges the gap between 6 & 6.5. slightly more recoil than a 6 but much better wind bucking ability and more energy on target/splash to correct from. some guys find 6.5 to be too much so a .25 is doable.
A few of us will be changing to 25 this year so keep an eye out at matches, even ask to have a shot after a match if you are curious.
