[QUOTE="green 788, post: 100903, member: 3781"] Jimm, The only published data I have on the 25/284 is in the Hodgdon Annual Manual. It shows their max of H4831 at 49.0 grains with the 120 grain Nosler Partition. From a 26" barrel, they were getting 2978 fps at max pressure with the 120 grain bullet. I'm thinking that slowing the 125 grain bullet down and going to a slower powder with better case fill (but lower pressure) might get that bullet looking better. 3000 fps for the 125 grain bullet would sound about right--I would think. I would try 4831, either Hodgdon or IMR. They're not really slower than RL22, but may end up working better here. The RL22 does not appear to be promising with the 125--but it could simply be that the charge weight range and velocity are too high... Dan [/QUOTE]
