Which .25 for next build?

[338weatherby]

Elk hunter 338, had dies and brass he was selling. Not sure if it had sold or not. If interested in the Blackbird you can hit him up.

Hmmmm

I'm curious about this 25-300prc

I currently run a 25 creedmoor with 131's at 2920fps and it hammers deer!!! If I were to do it over I'd either run a 25x47 Lapua or 25 saum if I wanted the extra omphf

Make sure you have the extra magazine length if you do 25-06, 257 weatherby, etc. I am shooting 25x284 and 25cm on tikka platforms. Both are easy to load/tune and fun to shoot!

 

[Elk Hunter 338]

This will be sweet!

I feel like it will be a fit between the 25-300 and 257 stw .. we shall see

Thats too sexy to take to the woods. It belongs above MY fireplace!

 

[338weatherby]

Love it. Can't wait to see how it performs.

 

[338weatherby]

Has anyone done a 25-30 Nosler or 25 SAUM?

 

[Shooter264]

Just breaking in a 25 saum now. So far it's shooting lights out. Short 20" bbl and running the 135 Hybrids and 133's in it.

Wow…I like…Fast 25s rule—

I am starting to think the .257RPM might be an attractive option, but nothing can replace the 257WBY in my mind as the perfect 1/4.

I run a couple quarter bores.
25 Creedmoor pushing a 135 LR Hyb @ 2976fps
25 SST pushing a 133 Elite at 3200 (easy load, up to 3350 during testing with H1000)

Let me say this...do NOT count on 131 Blackjacks. I have had 2k paid for and on eternal backorder since Dec 2020. No response to a plethora of emails, texts to the owner, FB Messenger, etc. Which sucks, because until 8 months ago, I was still a Blackjack fan. Now, they can suck it, even if they ever make good on backorders.
