Is there a 25 UM in the works?

@Ryan Avery / @Unknown Munitions, is there a 25 UM in the works? Coming from a 30 cal mag background, it is pretty hard for me to go down to the 6 UM as my one and done rifle. But, I think I could see myself shooting a pretty high bc 25 cal 130+ gr bullet at warp speed.

25 saum (necked down 6.5 saum) 30 degree shoulder is available currently. My 21” pbb shoots the 131 sierra right at 3000 fps

I have a 25-7 prc with absolutely 0 regrets. For me, a 25 UM wouldnt fill a niche that the 25-7 doesn't already cover.

NOPE! The only people who want a 25UM haven't shot a 6UM.

You'll need more horsepower than a 25um to get a 135gr bullet moving 3100+ mv from a short barrel to make it hang with a 6um, going up 20gr in bullet weight just adds more recoil. Its going to take 82-85+ gr capacity.

I just went down this road, wanted 156 Bergers going 3050+mv from a 22in barrel. I chose a 7lrm parent case necked down to 65 holding 87.5gr water capacity. This would be my choice for a hotrod short barrel 25 as well. Brass options are limited, but adg does makes the new "G" logo gunwerks brass. The old gunwerks 7lrm brass was made by Hornady and was quite trash, been shooting this case since 2011.
