    @25/08 IMP with a name like that how could you not have a quarterbore?
    It was a real toss up between the creed Imp and the .25-08imp cartridge with this build but as it would turn out the Creed is much more efficient at getting the velocity with the shortbarrel. The 25-08 needed a slower powder which meant more unburned powder

    Yeah I'm thinking of rebarreling my 6.5 creedmore but that shoots so well it would be a shame.
    What action have you used
