I’m looking forward to getting mine. I need to get the trigger fixed on the .25-06, but I will do some load testing.

25wsm ~mild load n570 135tmk 3070fps

10rnd group ended up about 1.1" , very similar velocity/dispersion as 133eh 134eldm.

To me the green tip seems very large, they must have used the same tip as 153tmk.

I'm curious if their BC is correct. The 135 is list as g7 of .307 verses hornadys 134 ELDM boasting a g7 of .325

I'll be shooting these side by side

I geussing the "bump" at tip/meplat junction is the reason for lower bc

That tip size looks enormous and awesome.
I’d bet money it expands violently and reliably well below 1800fps. Possibly 15-1600fps?

You'll have to find deer out at 850ish yards or download the bullets to test for impact speeds below 1800fps. I'll get some deer put down in a few weeks with them. I have crop damage permit so summertime killing will happen with them

Can’t wait to see what you post after you’ve hunted with it!
