any load data for a Weatherby w/7.5 ? nothing on Hornady's App
I'd be curious to see what this bullet would do in a long action magnum case as well. Been looking at doing a 25x7prc since the 7prc came out.
I have used the Berger 135gr and H1000. I think I started at 63gr. I am still doing development with them in my 257 weatherby but they are good so far in my 1:7 barrel.

Would anybody that has these in hand care to share the bullet specs? Oal? Bearing surface length?

I'm shooting the 134gr ELD-M in a custom Tikka. 24" bbl , chambered in 25-284. fluted Brux 3 contour in a 1-7 twist. Custom Manson reamer . I had set up for the 134gr to have the boat tail shank junction just slightly above the neck shoulder junction. It's accurate and fast.
The load I settled on was 3163 fps with RL-26. SD-2.2/ES-4. Shoots under a inch at 300 yards.
25 Creedmoor/115 Berger Hunter left. 25-284/134gr ELD-M right.
My 25 Creedmoor 115gr Berger load out of a 24" 1-7 twist Brux is 3172 fps. I have shot 4 Mule deer with this load. All bang flops.
I haven't had a chance to take a deer with the 134gr ELD-M load yet but I am going to use it on Rockchucks here shortly.
