25 SHERMAN (THE LATEST LASER)

[elkaholic]

I have no knowledge of the Sherman line of cartridges. Is there a resource where I can read up on them?

ok, here's my plan with the .25 Sherman

H4831,H1000, N565/568/570 or RL-25
Fed 215M
133gr elite hunter.

Any rumors from Nosler yet about .257 heavies? It's about time they caught up with the rest

Hornady is supposed to have a 135 elm

The standard 25-06, AI and Sherman cases.

I wonder why it wouldn't let you send that pic in DM........weird!

That sherman is a good looking case!

Mr Rich knows the details, but he got rid of a bunch of taper in the body, in addition to the additional length.

I like how the neck length didn't get lost in the process

 

[Phil Rizzo]

Yep. Have to use brass longer than standard 25/06 to blow out, as you see.
Mine ended up 5 thou short of chamber length after one firing.

What cartridge case are you using 270 or 280?

 

[Phil Rizzo]

I used 280ai

All I could find!

 

[DUCKMAN11]

Well done! Do you have any velocity numbers yet?
