    PRS Talk My NF ELR Steel Challenge match review with the 25 SAUM and Blackjack Bullets

    Top 3 in Open class were 300 norma from what I can tell. It's a great round but less favorable in a light rifle below 16#. Berger will be releasing a high performance 257 bullet soon enough, so the fence sitters will be running out of excuses about the 1 good bullet thing - lol.

    257 Blackjack

    I don't get on the forums as much as I should but I've been poking my head around here and there after having a badass time at the NF ELR 2020 match in Wyoming a few days ago. I just wanted to let interested parties know, 257 Blackjack production brass will be available December 2020 or January...

    PRS Talk My NF ELR Steel Challenge match review with the 25 SAUM and Blackjack Bullets

    25 cal shooters comprised 4.7% of the total field of 191 posted scores and 12% of the top 25. I rarely shoot anymore - if that accurate as hell 257 WBY had been in the hands of someone talented and in the routine of competitions, it would have made top 5 in Open Division easily. After the...

    Rant--I just do not get it

    My company decided we would do direct sponsorship of results instead of the traditional sponsorship scenario. You win matches you get comped. Since I can't be out and about, we did not want to be surprised by arrogance or god-forbid, the cheating that happens when some guys fall to the...

    Beanland Rifles Butch's Guns PVA TS Customs ES Tactical SAC WTO APEX Gunworks (pretty sure) Paradigm Precision Southern Precision GAP (pretty sure they have reamer) The list is not exhaustive and growing all the time. We've got a few 25 Creed BJB spec reamers left in stock.

    25 Creedmoor

    Case length is the same as x47. It's standard magnum BF and it could be formed from SAUM if a guy wanted to do all that. We already have guys that want to and will take good notes on process and prep. Good news is we will price ready to fire brass, reamers, and dies as affordably as we can -...

    Range Report 25 Creed 131 ace range report and findings!

    They almost win Q Creek ELR matches out of 25 SAUM cases lol. 2nd in Open Division to a 338 EnABler and 300 OTMs. Still ahead of 196 other shooters and much larger cases and bullets.

    Range Report 25 Creed 131 ace range report and findings!

    What barrel blanks did you start with? These X-Cals seem to run fast. My 26" X-Cal 25 Creed runs 3040 but I completely understand from seeing the results that most of the cut blanks haven't been able to do more than the 2970 node on the usual.

    Range Report 25 Creed 131 ace range report and findings!

    Very cool rifle and these 25 Creeds run long range so well without the recoil of bigger cartridges. Really takes off where the 6mms get squishy around 1100 yards and beating out any 6.5 bullet fired from the same parent case in Wind, Energy, and Drop doesn't hurt either. Makes my day to see...

    25 Creedmoor

    Thanks for the patience guys. These anti-2A companies froze up our OPS but not nearly as bad as some of the other companies I've talked to in terms of time-frame and totals. Anyhow, we are back up and running and we are shipping out A LOT of orders. I saw a few comments about the fast...

    Hornady April 24, 2019 something

    131 gr ACE prototypes had more or less equivalent G7 BC of the 147 ELD M and can be pushed ~150 fps faster from same parent case. The production run of 131 gr ACE is 0.345 G7. Less recoil, less drop, less wind.

    25x47 Lapua

    BC jump, barrel life jump, target energy jump (~16% at 1000 yds), supersonic range jump : P ... lol The next Blackjack bullet will outrun the 131 ACE to 1000-1100 yards and will better suit most shooters needs for medium range shots. It will be a nice balance for guys that seem to prefer the...

    Gunsmithing I Need a Bighorn Gunsmith in Virginia

    Jerry I think you will enjoy how easy and efficient the 25x47L is. To others coming across this post 25 XC reamers will be here Tuesday. That's a smaller pool of people seeking that reamer but there's no doubt people have a ton of brass and high quality dies they can easily swap their cartridge...

    Light recoiling 7mm ELR?

    Made ELR Favorites addition to an edited version of Accurate Shooter's Overbore Index to serve as simple comparison. Comparing 25 SST, 28 Nosler, 300 Norma, and 338 Lapua, the 338 comes out at the lowest Overbore Index with the highest recoil by far with the 25 SST in second Overbore Index and...

    Light recoiling 7mm ELR?

    Just noticed the Shortmag comment - for OP's main requirements 7-300 Win or 7-300 Norma in long barrels fits the bill after the no-short mag qualification I didn't see any energy and range requirements in the OP but wanted to drop some surprising #'s for anyone who just needs hit % out to 2100...

    when will berger, sierra, hornady, etc release 25 cal bullets?

    TRIGGER has a 4 page spot on 25 Cal with a great writeup and a show of what other loads a guy can run in terms of lighter bullets with resultant velocities from 25 Creed. Overall a good introduction of high performance 25 cal to the mass market and a positive mention of Richard Mann running 25...

    25x47L AR10 - Supersonic to a mile @ 2300 DA

    Got some great messages from an AR10 shooter today. 25x47L running 2850 - 2950 from 24" tube. 131 ACE at 2950 fps yields about 1640 yds Supersonic at 0 DA and 1760+ yards at 2300+ DA. Not bad for a little cartridge and little bullet. General feeding testing and powder ladders today. Shooter...
