25prc speeds

I didn't, it was 50fps slower than rl26 in my short barrel 6prc, so figured it'd not be worth it. N565 did get me to 3160 at psi, but accuracy was at similar speeds at H1000. I run everything suppresed so try to run cleaner powders in the overbore magnums. I have a 22in 300nmi as well, using N565 in that, 2970 w/ 215hyb, that thing has some PUSH with the can.

I bet N560 would make that 3,000 in a 20” with the 134

Maybe a 21”

Maybe a 21”

Not a fan of temp sensitive powders, N560 does give good velocity from everyone's experience though.

25 PRC, 133 Berger, 23” barrel, R26 powder. 3145 fps

Tagging in. I am having a 25-6.5prc built with an 18” barrel. Planning to only run the 134eldm. Hoping for 2900+.

Building it as a homage for my grandfather. My grandfather had a 25-284 that was his main big game rifle. He passed away in February and the rifle was stolen in June. I have a 6.5prc so a bushing die will serve two purposes.

2025 bump to hear some more handloads and velocities

Check out the 257 marksman thread. 20" running 3200 with 134s and H1000. I just got a 18" chambered but waiting on adg brass. Hoping for 3125.

Less options for parts because of the parent case but not bad.

What is the parent?
