25 PRC

[teejj]

You are building a 25-300PRC? 25-300 might be a tad much. Haha

I guess sarcasm doesn't come across too well on text.

Oh oh I'll neck mine down off of 300 prc and get original and call if 25x300 prc.

Looking to see if anyone is running a 25 PRC. Looking for load data (thinking the Berger 133's) and the process you used to get brass necked down (which dies, did you neck turn, etc). I have 100 pieces of ADG 6.5 PRC brass.

Thank you.

Here's another good idea.

There it is! Good reason to specify what a 25 prc is. 25-6.5 prc, 25-7 prc 25-300 prc

Barrel on order.What are good starting loads for the 25-6.5 prc?

I am kicking around the same idea of a 25-6.5PRC but want to try it with 101 Barnes LRX, 100 TTSX, or maybe a 110 Accubond. Will likely try it on a Win 70 Post 64 lefty WSM action I have sitting around. Inside 500yds I wont benefit as much from the BC of the 133's so wont need as much freebore and can stick with a 9 or 10 twist barrel.

Was playing around in Quickload and think I can get the 101's well over 3500 with N560 or RL26 which would be getting up in 257 WBY territory.

When I re-barreled my 25-06 I was debating going to the 25 PRC, but I didn't want to have to change the bolt face so I went with the 25-06AI. I still think the 25 PRC sounds like a fun rifle. I have really enjoyed shooting my 300 PRC so I am sure the 6.5 PRC is equally as enjoyable as well as wildcats based on it.

Is this real? What velocities? What bullet? Barrel life of 500 rounds

133 Berger, ADG brass, CCI BR2 primer, I think I started around 52gr of N565. My load uses 57.5gr suppressed.

 

[mullmann03]

I have an 18" barrel that would be great for a 25-7PRC. I can still get over 2900FPS with a 25-6.5prc though. Getting over 3K in my 22" barrel and it has not sped up yet.

Oh it's real, the bullet in the picture is a 145gr blackhole bullet. I haven't built the rifle yet, but when I do I'll probably use the 160gr chinchaga bullets. If I where to guess you should be able to get the 145s up to 3400.

 

[mullmann03]

The 145gr would be great for a 25-7 or 25-300 prc. The 160 would be great for the 25-300.

The barrel burner thread.

The 145gr would be great for a 25-7 or 25-300 prc. The 160 would be great for the 25-300.

I am using the 145 BH in my .257 WBY now and will giving the 160 a try when it finally comes out of production.
