The New HOWA 25 Creedmoor Offerings Are Now Shipping

The New Howa 25 Creedmoor's known as the Triple Threat due to its fitting the niche for varmint hunting, Deer Hunting and for Target / Precision Shooting. Hornady has answered the call of others who were competing with the 25 Creedmoor in a wildcat form. With its 1:7.5 twist , it will handle very aerodynamic bullets and shoot right with the 6.5 Creedmoor at distance. However, the real appeal of this cartridge calls back to the true forte of the quarter-bore cartridge, which is dual-purpose use on varmints and big game. It will shoot light bullets that the 6.5 Creedmoor cannot.
