Nosler Announces 22 & 25 Creedmoor Brass

[JD338]

Nosler is proud to announce bulk unprepped brass for the 22 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor.

Bulk Brass Unprepped

Nosler bulk brass was created for high-volume handloaders that want Nosler quality brass, but don’t need it to be prepped.

I find it interesting that Nosler would produce brass, but not yet provide any load data for the 25 Creedmoor...

Have they made any indications as to if, or when, they will?

I'll look into this Gil.

Thanks!
Also curious if they have any plans of producing ammunition too?

 

[JD338]

I don't know about ammunition but I would guess that they will offer it.

I hope that they will offer the 25 Creedmoor ammunition with 110 gr AccuBonds at about 3100 fps and 115 gr Ballistic Tips at about 3000 fps.

Where's the load data/ ballistics on the 25 Creedmore? When was this SAMI approved? I must be sleeping under a rock....CL

BTW - what does anyone think about the new. higher BC .25's (138 Gr hornady for example ) out of the old 250 savage as a paper punching round? Been meaning to call Hornady and see what they say about minimum twist rates. Should also ask them what the required velocities are for expansion of the CX,

If Nosler stops making 100 Gr BT's (Which I havent seen forever...) I'm in trouble. CL

Cl, I am perfectly content to stick with the typical 100 gr in the 250 Savage, and using the 110-115 gr bullets in the 250AI (both of which have 1:10 twists). Those new new 130+ gr bullets are going to need twists of 1:8 or faster to stabilize them properly.
I have read how the early 250 Savages had a 1:14 twist (IIRC - might have been 1:12) that wouldn't stabilize the 100 gr bullet, but worked just fine for the 87 gr bullets. They claimed that once Savage changed the twist to 1:10, the 100 gr bullets performed much better.
I like the 100 gr bullets in my 250 Savage!

I was reading some older articles about the 257 Roberts this weekend and the one article even talked about needing a 1:9 twist to properly stabilize 117-120 gr bullets properly. He mentioned how some rifles with a 1:10 twist had issues trying to shoot these bullet weights properly. I would love to have a LH 257 Bob, and think that the 115 gr BT would be just about perfect in it for deer and antelope hunting.

At the end of the day, if I want to shoot a 130 gr bullet, I'll step up to my 6.5 Creedmoor.

I love fast twist 25's, whether it be the 25 Creed, 25-284, or 25 PRC

I have some 120 grain boat tails (unknown maker, speer makes one that looks like it) that work in the 25-06 1-10 twist at max velocities, but tumble at lower velocities. That seems max length for 25 caliber 1 -10.

Exactly the reason why Nosler offers a 115 gr BT and not a 120 gr BT.

wish they would do a 115gr AB

Agree with you although the 115 BT is a robust bullet.

Berger recommends a 1:8 or faster twist for their 135 grain .257" bullet. I'd imagine that Hornady's 138 grain bullet would require a similar twist. I don't plan on running any of those long, high BC bullets from my 1:10 twist 25-06.

Ahhh... The game-taking, wonderfully accurate Blue Cyclone!

I ordered a couple bags of the new Nosler Bulk brass in 25 Creedmoor this morning. The bulk brass is NOT prepped.
Only comes in bags of 50...and will be approx. $91/bag plus the new tariff...with no eta for delivery...
Guess we'll see what they cost when they finally land...whenever that may be!

I’m just excited for the heavy, high BC bullets that come with this. Hornady got it SAAMI approved, so I expect to see a CX with the form of the 134 ELD-M like they did with 6.5mm, 7mm, and .308. I bet you Nosler will release heavier stuff to follow as well.

I finally bought an action for the 1-7 Shilen 25-06 barrel I got (prefit), so I’m gearing up for a killer deer setup

If I was 30 years younger- I'd probably want a .25 Creedmore. Couldnt afford it then either...but I think I'd want it CL
