Thread: 25 Cal these days

Going to depend on projectile availability at the end of the day.

Apparently (from podcast) Brian Litz put a lot of time into the 133/135 Bergers, and results so far are really promising from the US comp shooters and hunters.

Here is a 25 cal Berger 135 next to a 7mm Hornady 180 ELDM


You'll need a 1:7.5" twist for reliable stability. Some US guys using 1:7.8" for the 'new magnums'.

Not sure what the Hornady 134 ELDM will be like, supply wise.

What prices are you guys paying for them? I jumped on 1k of the 135's on clearance at £49.50 per 100.

Was quoted £68 per 100 for ELD-M's so no-bueno here.

Got one box of Peterson LR 25 Creed headstamped brass, but will probably land up using 6.5 brass necked down.
