What was the powder and charge on the 90Gr HH? That might be good medicine for my 25-284.....3700fps! that dog'll hunt.

57g of RL15 but this was a max load in my Rig so work up to it
I bet you could improve on that with RL17. In my experience a full case or a compressed load of a slower powder, will always out perform a load with a faster powder that leaves room in the case.
and that goes for everything I load, be it a standard case, improved version or wildcat.

I tried 15,16 and 17, RL15 was the fastest, Hammers load different than anything else on the market
Dang it Bean! You know I have a 25-06AI and a fast twisted 25-284. When I get time I've got to work up another 3700 fps rifle! The RUM with 131s also hit 3700. That's what smacked last week's deer.
Hummmm

I like how your thinking Brother
Hi.
I never heard of anyone with a .25 RUM. I love the .25cals. Would you please consider starting another thread and giving some details of the cartridge and rifle?
Many thanks.
The reference to a 25 RUM was in another recent thread - which I can't find. My 3700fps RUM is a 7mm, shooting 131 Hammer Hunters.
I found it!
It's in This thread, post #45.
Who woulda thought - a 25 RUM!!!!

Great! Look at the Hammer Bullet terminal performance thread.
Scope-eye,
Have you actually built your 25 RUM yet? Couldn't tell from the barrel photo. If so....details PLEASE!

My collection of barrels is probably close to 80, I have some where around 20 or so Savage 110 that I switch barrels and 6 or so REM 700 that I do the same thing they are Remage setups so it makes it easy. I always have a dozen or so barrels at the gunsmith doing something to them IE: rethroat, rechamber, reworked in some form or another my shooting buddys have some. The stamping is not that clear but they other barrel in that post 45 is a 6mm RUM. I am the first to admit that I have an unnatural love affair for the Remminton Ultra Mag. I have barrels in the following chambers 6mm,257,6.5,270,7mm,30,338,358,375,404,416,458, and .500
This is one example Exihbit A 338 EDGE 34 inch barrel it is stamped 10 Twist on the barrel but after measuring it several times it is actually an 11.75 twist.
