Will a 7mm bullet kill a bear?

It has been known to kill bears before but its not my first choice. Since its a light round it has the chance of (if a headshot) ricocheting of of the bears skull, but if you can get a good shot to the heart a 7mm would do just fine. There are more capable bear killings rounds. A .338 win mag would do much better for big game. So the answer is 50/50, it can kill a bear with the right placed shots.

Can you use 5.56 ammo in Savage model 25?

No. The model 25 came in various calibres - we'll assume yours is chambered in either .222 or .223 Remington. The 5.56 does not match dimensions with the .222, so if that's yours, it won't even chamber.

The 5.56 does match dimensions with the .223 Remington. However, there are differences in neck angles which can cause improper headspacing if a 5.56 is run through a dedicated .223 chamber, as well as chamber pressures which may exceed what a .223 rifle is intended to cope with.
