So far 2820 out of my 22" 25-284. Im only 35 round in and hoping it nears 2900. If you have a Tikka, the 25-284 is a great option as you can use standard bolt and simply swap to LA bolt stop and mags.
Seems a tad slow for a 22" barrel, I think you should be able to get to 2900 no problem with the right powder.

Im using 54.5 grains of H1000 without pressure and great accuracy. I'm probably not going to mess with it anymore this fall other than getting some more rounds down range to see if the barrel speeds up. Next spring I may do some more experimenting.

Let me know what you find. I ran 2thou neck tension on virgin alpha brass and groups were stupid. Trying to decide if I want to tinker or just put 100 through it and have fun.
Confirmed today there is no tangible difference with this load between once fired and virgin.
Here's the numbers and group at distance Screenshot_20241009-193048_ShotView.jpg20241009_173130.jpg

Got 10 rounds of 6.5 PRC (59.3 565) and 10 rounds of 300 WSM (64.5 h4350) loaded. Headed to the range after a couple of meetings to see how they perform.
