Fast-twist 25 guys rejoice

[nhenry]

Hornady, along with a slew of other products, released a 134gr ELD-M for 25 caliber.

G1/G7 BC of .645/.325.

My choice to build a 25-06 fast twist is slightly more validated now. Maybe they'll release a heavier ELDX in the near future as well.

This should make Fotis happy. His 25-06AI is a fast twist.

Excellent!

I'm sure Gavin will be happy with it in his 25 creed build

I must admit when the current barrel on my 257 Roberts goes I'm tempted to get a 1:8 or 7 twist job on it...

I wish I’d gone with a 7 instead of a 7.5

Why? You can shoot 117gr Absolute Hammers at around 3400 fps from your 25.06, what else do you need?

I’m hoping a heavy ELDX will follow. Really glad I went 1-7 on my light weight 25/06

You could do 125gr Hammer Hunters with your 7.5 twist. How fast could you get them going?

It’s more about the .244 G7 of the 128 compared to the .235 G7 of the 125. I could push them to the same speeds, I think. One would just be flatter.
