.25cal Berger 135LRHT Observation

[JAYgs8163]

The 25 133 EH should offer more expansion on impact since the tip is opened up more.

I run the 144LRHT in my 65PRC and I open up the tip to assure proper expansion. I then change the BC .002. The 144LRHT works fantastic.

Was that also the 135LRHT?

Yes sir

 

[sierracharlie338]

Anyone have real world experience around the differences between these and the 133 EH on medium game?

I am curious about this as well, especially if someone has experience with the 133 vs the 135 or even vs the 134 eldm. Trying to decide which I want to try when my fast twist 06 is done. Although at this point it may just be which one I find in stock first!

Most people I know are seeing more consistent terminal results, especially at lower velocities, with the 133elites even without touching the tips. I plan to try some this coming season or possibly on pigs over the offseason.

The tips on the 133 EH tips should be open more than the 135LRHT.

I shot a deer with the 133's a couple years ago with a 25PRC. Nothing impressive. I switched to the 135's because they group better. Have not had the opportunity to try the 135's on game yet.

I wasn't impressed with the 133s on my deer this year either. I'm switching over to the 134eld.

Berger currently doesn't have 133s on the schedule, and they ran 135s like a month ago so might be awhile. Call and email them to help show the demand is high

I got 135s in the mail yesterday from bulletcentral.com

What powder did you end up using, My .25 PRC is headed my way and I cant wait to get some 135's loaded up. Gonna start with H1000, it worked the best in my 6.5 PRC

57.5 to 58.5 H1000

A little disappointed in what y'all are saying about the 133s.

Yup, a couple places still have a little 135s left, but not much. Idk if all deliveries have landed either. I got 1500 on this go around so should last me the year. But 133s appear to be gone for time being. I've got enough of those to shoot through my 25 Saum, but may just go 135s instead, especially with the overall negative thoughts on the 133s so far here

Yep 135s are "pointed"

 

[JAYgs8163]

Pointed and closed or just pointed with very small opening?

I hadn't seen them kinda quit looking since I was waiting for an "in-stock" email which apparently doesn't work. So thanks!! Will get a couple hundred to get started with anyways. That just made my decision between the 133 and 135. Plus a couple poor reviews on the 133 today also helped.
