[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2121381, member: 13732"] I have been shooting the 131s for about 16mo. 25 saum, 3x dif 25 creeds, and a 25sst. The saum ran 3220 which was 120fps below psi but shot the best there. The creed likes 2950 w/ H4350 and Rl16. My newest 25cr is a carbon rock creek 7tw and I'm using lapua SRP necked down and 47.2gr rl26 is running 3030-3040 fps zero psi signs, I've only got 29 rounds down the barrel at this point. The 131 likes 2950, 3040,3140, 3220 in my experience shooting these cases. The bullet likes to be 5k, 18k, and 32k off lands from several folks as well as my findings. I am going to test longer jumps and see if there's a place 60-70k off the run well too. The new creed has 40k more freebore than the normal BJ reamer. My 25sst, never could get over 3100 without major pressure signs, I suspected the proof barrel bad and they replaced it although supposedly it was within spec. The warranty barrel was sent to my smith last month. Waiting for it to get finished now. A 25x284 should run equal to my sst, or a 25prc. Lapua and Peterson brass may need neck turned. I know I had to turn both down to run in my 297nk 6.5x284 for adequate clearance. I know the peterson brass is tough, 2980fps w/ 156 bergers is where I'm running it at, 4x reloads and no lost pockets. [/QUOTE]
