The dummy round will be headed to JGS tomorrow for the first 25 SST reamer. I put off doing a 25 for quite a while because of lack of good bullets but with the 131 Blackjack with a b.c. higher than a 140 Berger in 6.5 along with Steves Hammers, I thought it was time!
The 131 will have a coal of 2.860" to the lands and should reach close to 3300 fps with a 26" barrel. If you run the numbers, it will out do any 6.5 with a similar coal and have improved barrel life over a 6 mm. The 131 will also have lower recoil than the 6.5 140 or 150. This could be a real competitor in PRS and other competitive circles.
With Steves Hammer Hunter and Sledge Hammer bullets, there won't be much that couldn't be hunted with this little quarter bore. The ADG brass is proving out to be VERY strong and consistent, so whats not to like.
