Also shot 3 pigs with my 25 SST last night. All 150-250 lbs. The only one that ran a little bit was walking quartering away at 150 yds and shot him just behind the shoulder.

I killed a cow elk at 700 yds with my 25sst and a bull elk at 250 yds with fast twist 25-06 shooting 131 BJ at 3160. Cow DRT, bull went about 10 yds

Sounds like an awesome trip and some incredible shooting. I have been down the path of lighter weight for caliber bullets and seen some spectacular kills with fast moving bullets. I started hand loading over 30 years ago and used to do a lot of game management on ranches in south Texas and...

Mountain tactical makes a a replacement drop in bottom metal for Tikka actions. I have been using one of those with an AICS mag, but it does not feed well from the magazine. My overall length is 3.475”, which is about .025 off of lands.

I have both the 135gr Berger and the 131 Blackjack bullets. I have used the 135 Bergers thus far after fireforming brass. I only have 100 rds on the barrel but was getting >3200fps with N570. Interestingly, I have had no heavy bolt lift at all (it is on a Tikka action), did see some...

I’m hoping to revive this thread. My build: Tikka T3X action Mesa precision stock Mountain Tactical DBM that fits Tikka inlet CF wrapped 26” barrel from Preferred Barrel Blanks in 25 Sherman Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22 I found some Nosler 270 brass and fire formed. I did a ladder pressure test...

They have been excellent on game - whitetail, pigs, and elk from 100-670 yds out of a 25 sst, 25 cm, and 25-06. Only a bull elk at 200 yds went 10 yds. Everything else DRT.

I even got a follow up email from Alphex firearms. They wanted to know if I was going to follow through with my order. I asked them to prove to me that it was not a scam. No response.

This is back up but they want you to send money direct by Zelle app.

I thought this was a long action cartridge based on the 270?

Did we ever get an OAL for this? I'm looking at doing one in a Tikka action which limits OAL to 3.34" I believe.

Any update on this thread? Anybody got experience with one of these yet?

I have a 25-06 with a 7.5 twist 26” barrel that shoots the Blackjack 131gr ACE at just under 3200 fps. Extremely accurate. Shot a 5 shot group under 4” at 925 yards.

I assumed this would need to be magazine fed. Wouldn’t work through a BDL? I have a lightweight 6.5 SAUM with Proof barrel, defiance deviant action. I took it to Alaska a couple of years ago for a sheep hunt. Never really fed that reliably. I’m considering doing a light week build with a...

Just to be clear, that is with the 131 grain Blackjack Bullets, correct?
