Doe Hunt Hammer Prototype Max Distance Minimal Velocity

Hard rock said:
This may sound hard to believe , but I built a 25-284 a little over a year ago and got it up to 3874 fps with Lapua brass and rl19 using the 90 gr absolute . My average vel was 3860 fps with 62 grs I backed it down too 61.2 grs for a 3800 fps load the rifle is a 1-8 twist 25 in custom FN Mauser , haven't lost a primer pocket yet. I haven't killed anything yet with it but may have to test it this weekend . That 22-284 would be a neat round low recoil high BC and velocity. I have several donor rifles all I have to do is rebarrell . I have a Grand son that will be shooting soon that would be a great deer carrtridge. I'm curios what is the throating on this cartridge.

My Ruger #1 in 25-06 with a 26" barrel shoots 90gr AH to 3611fps using RL16. To get that velocity, I ended up at 102.5% of case capacity according to QL

Ok, I'll let the cat a bit more out of the bag. Right now, we are looking at two lines of the new bullet. One that is more conventional and one that is pushing the limits. So, thinking here is we may launch two new lines of bullets. Uuuggg, the chaos of having too many bullets!

I would think the 90 gr absolute would outrun the 87 gr speer by several hundred fps, load data shows that bullet at 3656 with 59 grs.of Imr4831 in the 2506 -24 in barrel , you may be leaving a lot on the table. My 25-284 is also in the same manual Speer #12 nearly neck and neck , the 22-284 has my interest, especially with these 78 grainers. The BC must be pretty good fora 900 plus yard shot.
