Here's some more 25 wsm info. This is not my info.
<br>
<br>Here is a follow-up on my loading progress with the 25 WSM. As I stated before, I was trying to get near the velocity of the 257 Weatherby Mag and came close using IMR 7828.
<br>
<br>At a charge of 92% case capacity, I'm getting an average of 3312fps. with a 115gr. Nosler B.T. with 62.5gr.
<br>
<br>The 257 Weatherby Mag gets around 3342 using 67.0gr. of IMR 7828
<br>
<br>That is around 6% less powder than the 257 wthby. I am more than satisfied with the results!!
<br>
<br>sdgunslinger, you mentioned freebore. This is a custom made barrel and I first want to mention that I used a Remington long action and gave in a few dummy rounds to make the chamber throat. I have more than enough room to jump bullets as there was alomost 3/4" of space in the detachable magazine to jump them any where I wanted. I chose a lenght of 2.95 as my final bullet seating and the barrel is freebored accordingly.
<br>
<br>Now on to some more powders.
