25 prc or 25 cm

1

Which of these would you take elk hunting If you had to choose?

Also, is there a way to take a Tikka T3X Action and make a 25 PRC or 25 CM out of it? If so, how would one do that?

25 CM does not hit hard enough for a bull elk. Numbers don’t add up. 25 PRC is a wildcat, so I don’t know.

You could make a rifle using a tikka with either of those cartridges. For the prc you’d need a bolt face that is magnum. And for the creedMoor you’d need a standard bolt face. You’d have to look and see if there are prefits for the 25 prc if you wanted to spin it on yourself, or a smith could do it for you I’m sure.

Stiller is selling 25 prc barreled actions. Got one coming up on the channel.

I can only find the 22 creedmoor barreled action from Stiller. Where do I find the other barreled actions?

They sent me one to show on the channel so I know they make them. Maybe just out of stock? I might message their customer service and ask. Tell them Backfire has one.

Any idea if or when 25rd might get SAAMI approved?

@UtesFan4Life - Cody, a 25 cal would Not be my first choice for elk, they can be tuff. Bullet construction also plays a large part in how it performs.

Yes you can take a Tikka T3x action and put on a different barrel.
