It seems you finally figured it out in the end. Congratulations.

Way to Biden up a thread. Your cognitive decline is showing.

Wow... You must be a joy to be around in real life. I get being a little petty, but going full A Hole for no reason seems excessive.

I really have no idea what just happened.

Lol

I just want to see dead things with 133s

 

[bmart2622]

Yeah, this actually was a pretty good threead until @juju showed up

Exit on whitetail buck 150 yards IIRC - 133 @ 2680MV out of 25CM.

Does anyone have any experience with the 6.53 Scramjet? It is the 257 caliber Lazzeroni round. While the speeds with light bullets are impressive, I wondered what the heavy for caliber bullets would do.

I have a 6.5 prc that should be ready about may. Have all components, including 133s and 134s. Could use some more brass though. Can’t wait to have some success on big game!

My uncle talked about getting one of these for years and never pulled the trigger on it.

I just got my 25-06 barrel and suppressor to swap out for my tikka 270 barrel. I am going to push off switching it over until after bear season when I have more time to work up a load. The first bullet I wanted to try was a 115 gr Berger VLD. I was going to get a Redding die with the stem for that bullet. I am a bit rusty on my reloading. I saw they have a two die and three die set. Any recommendations one way or the other?

Rifles are usually 2 die sets. A sizer and a seating die, if a third die it is a crimp die. Pistols are 3 or 4 die sets as they add a flare step and maybe a crimp. Imho crimping is not needed on most rifle cartridges unless going in a lever gun.

 

[AZ_Hunter]

The three die set in this case likely has a neck sizing die. Neck die can be handy after pulling bullets and reusing the primed case.

Just saw new Hornady video on YT. Factory 25 Creed ammo with 134 ELDM. If they're getting 2,850 in their ELDX Precision Hunter ammo, I'm assuming 24" barrel, I'm doing something wrong with my 25-284 and 134 ELDM at 2,828 in a 22".

Sweet. 128 ELDx is cool.

Ah, its a 128! That makes sense, I've been trying to multi-task and watch the video without sound while working and missed that. Very cool! Cant wait for the component bullets to come out.

The saami velocity is a 134 at 2810 from a 24” barrel. A tick slower than the loaded ammo, but really close.

I tried searching this thread but could not find - Who is chambering a factory 25 creedmoor? The only mfr I could find was Horizon.

Nobody yet to my knowledge. This should spur some interest if sales are strong.

I could see there being some hangup. A lot of manufacturers don’t currently produce anything in .25 cal, so they don’t have blanks to work with. With cartridges like 6 creed, it’s easy for them to work with since they are already making 243 barrels (aside from the twist being different)

Could be wrong though
