I need quick load help please...

I never feel comfortable with kinda and sorta close with powder and bullets.

25 wssm
Reloader 17
115 gr. Ballistic Tip
WLR or Fed 210M

Second is..
25WSSM
same powder
Reloader 17
120 gr Hornady interlock bullet..
Apparently the 120 interlock is no longer made but I have some needing used up.

Alliant lists R17 for the caliber and lists a 120 gr bullet but it's not the Hornady interlock

Again I like exact reference points with loading.

Thanks for any replies

While I don't know how the change the primer input, I do have ql. I'll see what I can find out?
 
About the best I can do.

case 1.660"
coal 2.350"
rl17 41.7-45.4
24" barrel

Can't find any info about the 120 hornady. Using 120's from other mfgs would be useful, so totally understand.

I didn't see any rl17 listed on their load data site. Of course, pressure will go up or down depending on case length. Not sure what length you trim your cases. If I knew what the 120interloc bullet length was I could change specs to meet possible data. I would use hornady bullet reference for 117 and change input to 120 and make length as you spec.

Thanks...
just to clarify the specs you gave me are for the 115 ballistic tip and Reloader 17

Secondly...
I will measure the 120gr interlock bullet in about 30 mins

Yes, data was inputted for 115gr nosler b-tips and rl17 as earlier post info gives. Sorry for not adding the 115b-tip in the data. Those were the only 2 you stated. Always double check, so no worries!

Ok...sorry it took me this long to reply but
The length of the 25 cal 120 grain interlock bullets is around 1.185-1.190
Screenshot_20221127_140558.jpg


  • Sectional Density: 0.260
  • Ballistic Coefficient:0.358

I just bought more ballistic silvertip 25 cal 115gr off the Nosler site...

We covered that bullet and reloader 17


So i need R17 with the 120 interlock and also if you kindly can...

The 117 sst ...
If you need the length on that let me know. I got some of those to try
 
117sst is in the database, but the 120interloc has the same length as the 120hp (#2560). I'll compare both.
 
Here's what I found.
Using 120hp, 117sst @ 1.1850 and 1.190 with 120gr weight change all charges were the same, 41.2-45.0.
Although I don't trust QL 100% it does/have given me good starting points.
