Reduced recoil is it really but its worth enough to me with an 8lb rig. I shoot a 18” 6.5creed 140 bergers 2610fps and with my 18” 22creed, factory 80gr elds run 3070fps. Looking at AB wind drift a 1000yards is almost identical comparing the 143 vs 80 favoring the 80 just slightly. But I need to...
Tested Varget, accuracy and velocity looked more promising than h4350. Will have to shoot again in better conditions the wind is blowing 25-30 here but groups still looked better than 4350

Hornady brass

Saw an ej mark at 42gr 3644fps
No I have it now but thank you.
Pressure tested the 62vt’s this morning with Hornady brass and shot a few groups.
Load was 42gr h4350 roughly +.030” jump with fed 210s. It produced an avg of 3410fps. Groups weren’t that great but ill tune it a little more before I try Varget. I get light ej...
I’ve been having a few bolts done lately with the wrought iron fluting, it has grown on me and looks sharp. That’s a mild load of h-1000 with hornady or alpha brass. It will run 3200fps on the top end with the 80s but I feel no need to push my long range load. I shot the 90 pointed SMK’s a...
Went out right before dark and shot a 10shot group prone with rear bag and Harris bi pod at 100 to check zero with the 80gr eldm at 3050fps peterson virgin brass 18” bbl 8.25lb gun, wind was 5mph5cl Measured 0.77” it was a little high. Didn’t have a cover on the can so after 7 shots it was...
I hunted with a 270 wsm for awhile. 26” with 140 bergers at 3340fps. I shot out to 1000 on steel but felt like it was best for hunting at 700yds and in. 145s at 2950 will do well for plinking at 900 in mild wind and good for hunting at 600 and in IMO. Assuming your running a 24” Bbl and 10twist...
7prc next to 135 berger at 3.260” Medium vesper is good for 3.4” That should be ideal even with the 145s.
I just ordered a steel Bartlein and they told me 6 months. But the wait for the carbons could be longer.
2900 should be the top node with the 133 and h4350 before it’s starts wrecking brass quickly.
Maybe but I wouldn’t go any shorter than 18” you will be losing a lot of velocity per inch once you get below 22” with a 25-7prc.
N570 runs great in my 25sst and it’s 2gr less h20 capacity than the SAUM. As for a seater die check out the Frankfort Arsenal universal bullet seating die for $80.
To the op a 25-7prc should do 3000 in an 18” easily. If you’re going that short though a 25prc,25sst,25saum will do the same with...
I doubt it will be long before Sierra drops a .25cal bullet that’s a refined version of the ACE bullet. It’s only natural now with berger and Hornady’s versions released.
That would be awesome if UM put in a bulk 120TMK order. They’ve been carrying the ball a lot lately and I appreciate it...
Of course the extra case capacity of the 6UM bridges the gap in recoil though it has a lighter bullet weight.
My example with the 131s is using a .351 bc also. They list a .331 bc but for 2 rifles I’ve had to use a .351 to get everything to line up and talked to others who have had to do the...
