I picked up a Kelblys tactical SA for a deal and have an itch for a 25 short mag of some flavor. I have a 7 saum so I don’t want to run the risk of mixing up brass, it will be shot suppressed out of a 20’ barrel. Thinking the 25-300 wsm will have little more horsepower than a 25-6.5prc. Looking for a nice 800 yard and in deer rifle. Anyone have any experience with one? I’m thinking 270 wsm brass maybe better to start with than 300 wsm.. suggestions?
Anyone running a 25-300 wsm

There’s the 257 Marksman which is a 6.8 western case (ADG Brass) necked to 25, throated for heavy bergers. Approximately 100 fps faster than a 25 PRC with the same bullet.
For a true short action, your best bets are 25-6.5 prc or a Sherman Short in 25. It’d probably be tough to make the 135 Berger’s fit in a 25-300wsm in a short action
I run 200 eldx bullets in a 300 wsm in a short action using the Hawkins Hunter dBM and hunter mag.
Fitting a 25 cal bullet shouldnt be too tough
Have to measure my COAL to be sure and think they are 2.850.
Feed very well without issue
