load data info source(s)

[ARlife4me]

who do you use or multiple use when it comes to load data? generally i've used sierra when that's the only brand of bullets i shot.................that lasted for 30 years before i started collecting more and more firearms with a variety of cartridges and calibers. with some cartridges not having the info when released, i've searched for other avenues for info. this lead me to xxlreloading as it offers 25creed and 277fury....................anyone familiar with this site please chime in! i haven't used any of their info as of yet due to not having the ar10 227fury (65k max psi version) barrel in yet. i'm getting close to owning my 1st quarter bore bypassing the 257rob+p and going with the 25creed. the lightweight bullets 120 and under don't appease me much as the 133/135/138's will. the 25cal suffers as much as the 27cals do when it comes to projectile offerings (excluding the boutique lines/less mass produced). those 2 calibers are catching up with the 26, 28 and 30's tho.

I have no experience with that site.

Download Gordon's Reloading Tool.

It's free and easy to understand if you're computer literate at all and have reloading experience.

I'm sure someone has created A 25 creedmoor cartridge profile by now.

I have a pretty good inventory of a variety of powders and bullets (monos and C&C), but Berger bullets are my go-to bullets. Berger Tech Support's load recommendation has been very instrumental in my load development. I have also been able to use those recommendations as baselines for similarly designed bullets. I also invest in reloading manuals for the bullets I plan to use, if available, such as those from Berger, Nosler, Hornady, and Sierra, as well as reloading apps at my disposal. Powder burn charts and knowledge base information gained throughout the years have guided me through safe and successful experimentation. In short, I do not have a single source for load data, but rather a combination of sources.

I do not have a .25 CM but have a .257 WBY. Like you, I lean towards the heavies. I have the 131 BJs, 133/135 Bergers, and 134 Hornadys, but I jumped on the 145 Black Hole and 163 Chinchaga when @Bghunter338 introduced them to me. We do not have the same .25-caliber chambering, but we have shared load information and experiences. There are many people here willing and able to help and share information. Good luck!
