Rifles that Need to be Hunted (or loads developed for) in 2025

I talked with Eric at BMP, he just needs to bed and assemble my 25/7 PRC built on a Borden Timberline Magnum LA, 24” Benchmark .257 1:7.5 twist CF Sendero lite, TT Diamond 2 stage, Hawkins BDL w/Watts extended box, in a MCS T Elite CF stock. I don’t remember what it was going to weigh …. But it should shoot extremely well once I get it going.

Looking forward to hearing howthis performs.
What is your expected velocity with the bullet you have chosen to try first?

My friend’s 25/7 PRC built on a Tikka with a 22” bbl was in the 3,150-3,200 fps range with Hornady 134’s behind VV N570 in necked down ADG brass. His final load I watched him put two first round hits on a 12”x12” plate @ 1,200 yards off the back of my PU tailgate!

I’ll break in the bbl with VV N160 with Berger 135 LRHT’s in ADG Brass. Although I’m going to deviate from Caleb’s load, and use N560 instead.

The guys over at WTO tested this pretty extensively and they settled on that, which is where the reamer came from.
