That's the question we have here.


OK.
Here is the original load development.
"96 and 99 gr of re25". 150gn = "3650-3800"


3 of my friends now run these sorta loads. Here is some of the latest data compiled by him.
"101gn Re-25 = 3787 - 3812fps". All .5" at 100(3 shots. Mark V).

The secret here is to vibrate em down with your tumbler. Also, as R-25 is a slow burning powder recoil is not like it is with other powders. Rather a push than a sharp jolt.
Just do not try this with heavier pills. If you are using the 270Roy stick with 130's, 300Roy keep it to 150's!
