I’ve got to take my 25 creedmoor out to distance twice since running a ladder test and the results are stupid awesome.
First range trip zeroed a load i picked from the middle of a good velocity node at 3005fps. Went to range that goes out to 2k. Wind was right to left about 3mph which was perfect to true in. Started with truing and entered info in kestrel. It spit out 1500 yds running a .350 g7. Dialed 12.7 mils and sent 2 rounds. Both stacked perfectly within about a 2” spot.
After that dialed to 1600 and went 2 for 3 with the 3rd i held to much wind. This bullet bucks wind amazingly. Dialed to a mile and hit it on 3rd shot, missed 4th and hit on 5th. Decided to try 2k next. Dialed 22 mils and connected on 4th shot. Only ended up holding 1 mil of wind at 2k. Buddy had his 264 wm pushing 140s at 3300 and the 25cm was within 2-3 mils of it in drop. Buddy got on the gun and went 2 for 2 at a mile and connected on 3rd shot at 2k.
Yesterday went out to the range for a few hours so another buddy could shoot the 25cm. Wind was left to right at about 3mph, another rare and perfect day at triple c range. Buddy had a brand new 6.5 prc with a 28” barrel shooting factory 147s and a random load that shot the 147s around 2910. At 1200 the 25 had .3 less drop than the 6.5 prc. At a mile the 25 connected on the 2nd and 3rd shots. The prc hit on the 5th. At a mile the 25 was .3 less drop again and seemed to need less wind hold only needing 1mil to hit. I will say the prc was still being broke in and we never really trued up the data beforehand. Based on performance between the 2 it’s amazing what the 25cm can do being a regular short action cartridge vs a short mag. This is definitely my new cartridge of choice. The results are incredible and blackjack bullets hit a home run with this bullet and it’s changed the game.
