25 PRC

[ElJefe]

Thinking about building one of these for a lightweight carry gun. If I am not mistaken Broz built one, but never did hear or read anything else about his thoughts on the caliber. My thoughts of build are the following
1. Pierce titanium action
2. Proof Sendero lite 22"
3. Ag or manners carbon stock
4. Hawkins bottom mag/flush mount
5. March scope 2.8x20x50mm
6. Shooting the 133 or 135 vld
Any thoughts or ideas on this build, I would like others opinions.
7. Use of gun would be used for hunting coues deer,mule deer, desert bighorn rams,and antelope

What PRC case is it built off of.

And shoot the 145gr blackholes. Just my opinion but it would be a hammer. I'm shooting the same combination in my 25-7 blaser (Blackbird). Which the case is slightly longer but not by much. If I where todo it over I would go this route do to brass availability.

Was thinking just using 6.5 PRC brass

That would be a fun 25. Not extreme simular to a 25/284. Short action should work. Wouldn't think it would be any longer than a 156 in a 6.5Prc.

I've been shooting one with a friend, one pass neck down on 6.5 Lapua PrC brass, pretty neat gun, shoots 133 EH @ 3130 with H1000 and a 26 inch barrel

I was thinking I should be able to get a little over 3000 with a 22" barrel

I think you should be able to hit mid 3000s as well, if you use N565 or RL26 you'll get even more speed

Any suggestions on this idea I got. Maybe other options in components for lightweight build

Not .25-PRC, but on my initial pressure tests, 257 WBY with 22" barrel propels the 145 Black Hole at 3090 FPS with 67.5 of MagPro and 163 Chinchaga at 2915 FPS with 63.5 of H1000. There are no pressure signs, and more room remains to explore.

I think everything you have listed would be a great build. Pending on powder you use, you should see 3000fps. Or be real close. GO FOR IT.
