    I've always been of the opinion that the 2506 should have been a 2508.

    Eventhough Im a 6mm guy, I can appreciate the 25cal. I've build several 25 Creedmoors to date and if I have to shoot anything other than a 6mm(in competition) it would most probably be a 25 Creedmoor.

    Things you should know, its not much faster than the 6.5Creed, but the BC is better.

    Barrels can be ordered from Ozark or Trueflite, cases can be ordered from Ozark, or you could just purchase 6.5 cases and neck down. Dies? Just get a set of 6.5CM bushing dies and fit the correct size bushing.

    Im currently playing with the idea of building me a light hunting rifle, not a slow twist barrel as Id be happy to shoot 117s or120s.
