    25 prc

    Is anyone on here running a 25 prc or am I the only silly bugger thinking of this.
    I've acquired the perfect Sako 85 that I think would work well.
    Looking at using 134 ELDM BC 645 G1

    I've used a 25-06 and 25-08 imp for may years but it's been a fair while since I've had one.
    I think I need another one.

    Have heard of it being done in the states, It would be an sweet open country setup with the Hornady 134. 3000fps would be very doable with RL26

    No harm in trying it

    I would have thought 3100-3300 would be very doable with 2217 at that weight or is it to lighter pill for 2217?

    2217 works fine with 130's in my 6.5 so surely it'd be similar in a 25.
