May be my best group ever. 25 prc at 500 yards with a 135 berger. View attachment 464644

very nice. Mind sharing your load?

58.2 grs of H1000. Not sure where that stacks up on official load data, just running what the previous owner did. Works in this one

any load data for a Weatherby w/7.5 ? nothing on Hornady's App

I'd be curious to see what this bullet would do in a long action magnum case as well. Been looking at doing a 25x7prc since the 7prc came out.

I have used the Berger 135gr and H1000. I think I started at 63gr. I am still doing development with them in my 257 weatherby but they are good so far in my 1:7 barrel.

Would anybody that has these in hand care to share the bullet specs? Oal? Bearing surface length?

doing the same I am at 66 grains of H-1000 3.309 OAL and at 3/4 inch right now. 24" 7.5 proof research shorter than Saami spec. Weatherby

I'm shooting the 134gr ELD-M in a custom Tikka. 24" bbl , chambered in 25-284. fluted Brux 3 contour in a 1-7 twist. Custom Manson reamer . I had set up for the 134gr to have the boat tail shank junction just slightly above the neck shoulder junction. It's accurate and fast.

The load I settled on was 3163 fps with RL-26. SD-2.2/ES-4. Shoots under a inch at 300 yards.

25 Creedmoor/115 Berger Hunter left. 25-284/134gr ELD-M right.

My 25 Creedmoor 115gr Berger load out of a 24" 1-7 twist Brux is 3172 fps. I have shot 4 Mule deer with this load. All bang flops.

I haven't had a chance to take a deer with the 134gr ELD-M load yet but I am going to use it on Rockchucks here shortly.

What kind of velocities were you seeing?

 

[BALLISTICJESUS]

They work great on Chucks.
