25prc speeds

[khuber84]

Tighter bore on that Brux cause it maybe?

Idk possible, I have the next barrel off assembly line that was right behind it, 25cm, it shoots fine normal speeds. I just think the prc case is anemic.

I'm kicking around getting a 25 PRC prefit to play with and was curious if anyone had experience with an 18" barrel and velocities produced. I assume the answer is yes, but any thoughts as to whether 2,850 or so with a 134 eldm or 133 elite hunter is a reasonable expectation? I have N565 and RL23 on hand but could be convinced to pick up some N570 if there was some overwhelming reason to do so.

2850 should be very doable I'd think. I pressured out around 3150 with 135s with a 23in barrel. So take 150 off that and that's probably gonna be top end with N565/H1000 burn rate. Rl23 will be about 30-50fps less.

2900fps is about top end load that will reliably function in snow/wet conditions in my 20" prc with n565/h1000.

It’s amazing the variation I’m seeing in similar barrel lengths on this thread.

I never know if they are talking 25-6.5prc or 25-7prc.

I think most would agree that "25 PRC" is referring to a 6.5 PRC parent case necked down to 25 cal, and a 25-7 PRC would probably be an easily identifiable outlier if someone listed specs. I could understand some confusion if not though.

Exactly, kinda like how many fish your neighbor caught last weekend

I did my pressure ladder in a snow storm on purpose, anything 3k fps and over nearly required a cheater pipe to open the bolt. 2900fps mv with these sexy long bullets keeps me above 2000fps a long ways out.
