25 PRC

I just finished up testing with H1000 in the 25PRC. At .020 off 57.5 and 58 grains opened up. 56.5 and 57 almost over overlapped so I went with 57. I am switching to H1000 over N565. I was having to clean the barrel after 20-30 rounds due to groups opening up. In my experience with H1000 in a 300RUM I could go forever without having to clean and groups stayed the same.

C6 7T Barrel 21 5/8" suppressed
New ADG brass
BR-2 primers
Berger 135
.020 off lands, 2.380CBTO

56.5G 2950
57 2970
57.5 3000
58 3030 heavier bolt lift.

EDIT:
58 grains of N565 was averaging 2940
59 pressure

What dies do you guys run for this cartridge? Do you use a bushing FL die to resize with the appropriate bushing, and a 6.5 PRC seater with a .25 caliber stem? Or you hit custom dies?
Can't speak for 25 PRC, but I use Whidden FL bushing sizer w/ appropriate 6mm bushing along with their seater with the 105 hybrid seating stem. Seems to work fine other than crunching a few pieces of brass - always first new piece in session?

Those are great numbers, funny how case capacity works, that's where I found pressure with 6.5 PRC and 140 Bergers hybrids.
