Thread: ok RE25 162g 7RM

fellas im back on track with the faster stuffs for the bigger stuffs with the ELDX stuffs.

lets talk this Reloader 25 and a 26 inch tube with the 162s.....

Whos shootin what, an if not what RE are ya shootin?

i lucked out on a last box of eldx from down the road too, so stock is good.. wanting to load up to shoot over the weekend, Rem 700 7mm rem mag....

Whats your load!?
cheers

Yep RL25 goes real well in 7mmRM. i run 162 AMAXs at ~3030 fps out of 24in bbl. Have not tried RL26 in the RM yet as I've got a couple of pots of RL25 to burn through first.

71 grs of AR 2225 (Retumbo) with the 162 gr ELDX at2900 fps. That load shot a 19 mm group when I tried it so use it now. RL 25 should be fine in the 7mm Mag with those bullets.

Whats the start data for this RE25?
got it in my hands tonight, guna load some for tomorrow

Rees, re25, start at 68 and go up by 1gn to 72. Sweet Spot is 70-71 normally with a 160/162.

Have not tried 25 we started at 67 up to 72 or 73 I cant remember we didn't take notes as it was just trying to eliminate powder choice from and inaccurate rifle I'd call 70 71 max though 72 was wild fast (3180) but would be way over pressure

Sweet spot w RL25 for mine was around 69 gn. Can’t recall if I pushed much past 70 as I was getting 0.3 moa groups at “69 & a bit”

nice.
i shot 65 66 yesterday, showing promise, looking likely to be as you guys have said in that higher bracket...
usin ear plugs now an a polar fleece jumper.. shes starting to bark

shot some groups today 1gr charges, started alright, then blew out, then come in pretty good up where you fellas are talking, where would you go from here?

no signs of pressure at 70gr, the 69gr load is just phat of an inch (id be happy with that lol)

my seating is like .5mm off lands ,- i have thoughts on the next game play - but wanna hear what you rekon from this..

cheers
(* edit- because today was warm i shot 2 shots of 68, then 69, then 70 before waiting for barrel too fully cool an come back to 69 70 final shots.... an when 68 printed so far apart i left it there..
so theres not a bad area at 69 70 maybe? or maybe fluke...revisit 69 for sure tomorow... )

seating depth chainy? an rifle? u did mention somewhere...

what was 70gr group like compared to 69 group? blow out again?

just to close this thread off, i got onto a winner.

i went up t0 71 grains aswell an didnt show much signs of pressure although certainly know when it goes off.. group opened up though so no need to be up there.


found a sweet spot with the seating an all that jazz around 69 and 69.5 was tighest, under an inch (fairly unheard of for me) so ive loaded that for now! will do some other groups and then get on with it

should be very close to that 3000 fps with the 26 inch tube and 162 ELDX.

thanks all.
