25 Creedmoor & 134 ELD-M

Here's my current proof barrel at 42g h4350, .045 off the lands with 135s. I should have just kept the one shot I threw out of the group into it. But I wrote those off to be me.

And these are 5 and 6 round groups with the steel brux at 42.1g h4350 and .005 off the lands shot just yesterday. Shot right 5 round group first then dialed a tenth left and shot left 6 round group. Idk if it gets a whole lot better with larger group sizes.

I think you are leaving alot of velocity on the table at 2700, but that might not matter for what your specific goals are with the load

It pretty much shot the same group at 2830 as it did at 2700. I didn't push it any more.
Oddly the groups opened up at 41.5 and 42 (about 3/4") and then tightened right back up at 42.5.

EDIT: only 3 shot groups though.

The 42.5 load at 2830 could be a good one, you probably already know that 3 shots isn't going to tell you much but I'd pursue that more.

Just so you have something to compare it to, 42.5 gr of h4350 with the 134gr eldm out of my 23" 25 creed gave me an average mv of 2845 for 10 shots. Group size was 1.1 moa.
I get better accuracy and more speed from the 133 berger.

I couldn't find any of the 133 bergers in stock anywhere. Did you use the same eaxact load for the 134 ELDM?

If you still want some pm me and I can't tell you where to find them

No my load for the 133 is 42.8 gr h4350, and its a really consistent and good shooting load.

Saami is coming
Hornady is making headstamped brass now and more available projectile choices.

Saami doesn't really matter to me though, I don't see any advantages to a cartridge becoming standardized besides factory ammo, which I dont shoot.

only reason I care about it is for the the bullet selection.
If the manufacturer's would start making fast twist 25 prc and creedmoor I won't have to worry about Berger and Hornady stop making heavy 25 cal bullets.
And maybe nosler and other companies would follow giving the 1/4 bore crowd more options and availability.
Most the time I can't find 25 cal bullets on the self of the local sporting goods store

Order a blank and build your own in your desired twist.
 
I already built one off of a mid 80' push feed Winchester.
My point was heavy caliber bullet availability.
