[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2777393, member: 27307"] The 131 Ace by Blackjack is no longer available as the company is out of business. You have the option of the 133 or 135 Berger and the potential of the Hornady 143 if they ever release it. There is also the Black Hole 145 gr. I've been shooting the .25 WSSM since I was involved in the Beta testing the pre-2004 release of the cartridge. Mostly it's been fairly smooth until Olympic Arms cornered and controlled the .25 WSSM through the Winchester case production in order to produce their idiotic 300 OSSM cartridge for their AR-15 rifles. It wasn't until Olympic admitted defeat with this cartridge that the market once again opened up for those of us wanting the .25 WSSM. Every now and then, Winchester releases a run of all three cases. Throats can be treated with a little more kindness by not trying to achieve .257 Weatherby velocities. The idea is to use a cooler burning powder which lowers the velocity slightly. My suggested powders are: Reloader16 (although it is not necessarily a cooler burning powder) VVN-160 Hodgdon Hybrid 100V Ramshot Hunter I shoot all three cartridges but the .25 WSSM is still one of my favorites. Enjoy! :) I forgot to add that you will need to adjust the feed lips of your magazines to accommodate the .25 WSSM and the longer bullets. ;) [/QUOTE]
