25 Creedmoor & 134 ELD-M

[Trappernewt]

I'm attempting to get out a little and do some shooting. Weather was nice today so I took the 25 creedmoor out to the bench and shot a few 3 shot groups. From 39.5 to 42.5 grains of H4350 pushing a 134 ELD-M. The best 2 loads accuracy wise were 41 grains at 2700 with and ES of 2.3 and 42.5 at 2830 with an ES of 6.1. But these shot about quarter MOA. Would you folks call that acceptable out of a 24" barrel?

If the 25 Creed I have shot with that accuracy - I would be very happy with it. As for speed, I got about 2885/2890 with N555 out of a 26" with 135 hybrids. H4350 was 2825/2850 so your numbers look about right IMHO.

Yeah I'd shoot larger groups. But if you're shooting 1/4 minute groups I think you're good. I'm at 42.1g of 4350 with 135 bergers and 2850fps in a 26" tube.

Man, I must have a couple fast barrels for my two 25CMs.

Is your barrel new? Might speed up quite a bit after 100-150 rounds if it hasn't already.

I had one proof barrel that shot 41.5g at 2910. But 2 since then have both been 42g and 42.1g at 2830(proof), and 2850(brux). That's alpha brass, cci450s, and 135s.
