25-284 build

Just got this earlier today

Yes we have produced them and they will be ready for public sale around July 4th.

The G7 Average BC at 1000 yds is 0.330 at 2930 fps & 0.333 at 3140 fps.

They shoot very well and we can't wait to get them out to market. We will be doing load development and testing in some other cartridges in the next 10 days so I will definitely get all that info together and make a post here on AS.

Blackjack Bullets is the name, so keep an eye out for us on Facebook & shooting forums.

Any idea what OAL is? I am guessing they will require an 8 twist barrel for optimal stability.
 
How long will it take to get a Krieger? I think Bartlein takes 4-6 months and I know Rock Creek is providing a ton of barrels to multiple gunmakers currently.
 
Waiting for an answer back from Rock Creek. Looking at 7 to 7.5 twist. I would like to get to 3050 fps range. Looks like it will take a 284 size case to get there. Thoughts?
 
With modern slow burning powders, I would think a 25-06 would get you over 3000fps.
Retumbo, H1000, Re 26, N570 I would think would be great.

I get ~2950-3000 fps from a 6.5-284 with a 140gr bullet. The 6.5-06AI crowd I know gets over 3000 and even 3100 fps.

If you can get over 2900 fps with a 6.5 Creedmoor case and a 130gr, and 3100 with a 105 gr Berger in a 6 CM, I would think 2900 would be achievable with a 132gr 25cal bullet in a similar size case.
 
although not totally the same, I can easily run a 120gr partition from my 24" 25-06 up over 3000fps. plenty of case left and no pressure. Powder like RL26 really helps out.
