The 25 RPM. Is going to eat all the 6.5 PRC’s lunches.

It’s going to be a 25 Cal. The RPM is basically a lengthened 284 case. So if your going to run long high BC 25 cal bullets. They are going to need to shorten the RPM case some. Which makes it real 25-284’sh. A 7 twist isn’t needed at those velocities. I’m banking on a 1-7.5 twist. 25-284 with...

I’ve been messing around with the .284 also. Just a bit different take on the case behind the bullet diameter. It’s basically a .300 Win Mag case, with minimum case taper, 6.5-284 neck length and a 35 degree shoulder. I set it up for the 180gr Hornady ELD-M’s. The chambering is (7.21 Sage). I...

The Blackjack 131gr 25 Cal “Ace” bullet has a G7 of .330. They were shooting it comfortably at 3200 from a 28” 25-284. The PRC case has 2-4 grs more case capacity than a 25-06 depending on the manufacture of the 25-06 case. The PRC case should flat cruise the super high BC 131 ACE.

My small twist to the 6.5 PRC chambering. The reamer arrived about a week ago. Throated for the 131gr “ACE” and Dale Janzen’s 140gr VLD. I’m going to chamber it on a 26”, 7.5 twist. A real quick size comparison. On the left in the picture bellow, is a Hornady 7mm 162gr ELD-X. On the right is a...

I have never shot this combo. I am having a Action barreled right now. It will be chambered in .22 Creedmoor with a 6.5 twist. Wonder what thoughts might be out there concerning the 85gr RDF @ .22 Creedmoor velocities with a 6.5 twist. I feel they should stabilize and handle the speed.

Smoker group at 200 yards this morning with the Sierra 77gr MK's.

90gr Nosler Accubond. Eastern WA Mule deer. 6mm-6.8 SPC. Complete pass through DRT. Broke two ribs going in and one exiting. Same rifle 287 yards, DRT. 95gr Hornady SST. High shoulder shot, she dropped in her shadow. Complete pass through. Center punched a rib going in and one exiting...

I put a .22 Nosler together several weeks ago and have about 600 rounds on the barrel so far. I went with a Odin Works 18", 1-8 twist, DMR barrel. Factory Nosler 77gr CC ammo hovered in the 3/4" and slightly under range. Mine shoots the 52gr Hornady ELD-M real well. Under half MOA out to 300...
