Well done! Load?

I've never had an issue with Bergers but haven't killed a ton with them and the ones I have used have been at low velocity. I shot quite a few in a 15" barreled Encore pistol in 260 Rem. The barrel was later rechambered to 6.5-270 JDJ and I used the 140gr VLD Hunting bullets, among others. The...

I've had similar experience with RCBS and some other reloading companies. They've always gone above and beyond!

Yeah but the 257 Roberts has panache!

My 168gr ABLR with 2900 fps MV, hit a nice Alabama buck steeply quartering away. Went through almost the entire length of the deer and found under the skin, 80ish yard shot. I'd have no qualms about upclose shots on deer or pigs. I don't think I'd personally worry about it on bigger critters...

Awesome results and recovery. I love the 168gr ABLR in my 20" barreled 7mm PRC and works awesome on deer. The 142gr version is deadly on deer as well from my 6.5 PRC.

I'd be all over that if it's true, but I can't imagine them coming out with that after they just released the 25 CM. Not much of a performance difference. If anything, maybe a 25 PRC? Though a 257 Roberts AII does sound very intriguing! My favorite caliber is the 257 Roberts, killed my first...

Man those are some great velocities, especially the 140gr load. So much for slow Tikka barrels. Looks like you have some very promising results and with a touch more tweaking, you'll be dialed. Though there's not a thing wrong with those results!

I like those Berry bullets as well. Shot quite a few in 9mm, 40 & 45 along with the Rainier plated bullets. Just don't push them too fast. My Springfield 1911 liked the 200gr SWC Berry's version over Titegroup.

I guess I'll bite, what's a Herman?

Same, only seen purple on the mags.

I wonder if the thicker plastic of the 5 gal buckets is affecting things?

Interesting results. Not much expansion going on there. The Hornady FTX tends to like being driven a lot faster, not sure about the others. Not your pretty full mushrooms, but results are results.

Sweet rifle, 26" barrel explains velocity.

Awesome shooting and some nice velocity out of the creedmoor. Whats your rifle setup?
