25 prc speed with 28” pipe and eld’s

[Dogsniper]

Thinking about spinning up a 25 PRC with a 28 inch pipe wondering what kind of speeds everybody seeing with that longer barrel length.

Anyone?

Are you discussing taking a 6.5 PRC, a 7 PRC or a 300 PRC to a 25 cal? Im assuming a 6.5 PRC. If so those extra 2 inches for a 26" arnt going to give you anything meaningful. With the bulletwieghts and the powder burn rates those extra couple inches arnt going to mean much, I could be wrong. Ive seen people use various powder/bullet combos to get some crazy results.

I guess the question is, what is the rig going to be purpose built for?

Extra barrel equals extra speed at the same pressure. Thats just how it works.

6.5prc necked down a long range rig for prs or killing things at distance with out doing a lot of hiking. I would like to get 3200 plus. If I can it may replace my 243 Ackleys. I would do six PRC, but I think barrel life would be real fast.

Also, I’m guessing burger hybrids are probably more consistent than the hornady s
