[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2459225, member: 4191"] Yup. I shot a couple 115gr Burger VLDs at 3,900fps from that 25 RUM. But that was over doing it pressure-wise. And some of those Burger bullets never reached a 100yd target backer at those velocities. At 3,750fps they held together OK. There was no way I could efficiently utilize the 25 RUM case capacity with a 10-twist barrel. That much case capacity needs a 130-150gr bullet to get efficient performance. And my 10-twist would never stabilize the heavier bullets. The barrel shot well, so I finally decided to set it back 1/3" and rechamber it in 25 WSM. Will try the 115gr Burgers again. But would be fun to get some monolithic copper bullets, and crank them at maximum muzzle velocity. [/QUOTE]
