I have used the 6.5 Alpha and necked down and have had no issues but the new 25 Alpha brass seem shallow.It's the BR4.

I have not experienced that. I only use CCI 450’s.I have used the 6.5 Alpha and necked down and have had no issues but the new 25 Alpha brass seem shallow.
Thanks for your response. I'm not sure whats happening with the seating depth of these BR-4. I might give Bob a call at Alpha and see if he has heard of this issue. I will post if I find something out. Again thanks for the response.I have not experienced that. I only use CCI 450’s.
why? im running a 7twist shooting 88/95gr 22cals way faster than 2950Love the idea of the 1/4 bore Creedmoor but to get the most out of it, the 7twist barrel scares me.
It’s a recipe for shorter barrel life. As a hunting gun, I wouldn’t be concerned too much but as a match rifle I’d be worried.why? im running a 7twist shooting 88/95gr 22cals way faster than 2950

Are you saying that minuscule added frictional wear throughout the barrel length is going to make you toss a barrel before throat erosion would?It’s a recipe for shorter barrel life. As a hunting gun, I wouldn’t be concerned too much but as a match rifle I’d be worried.

Edit: Seriously, though. I got my barrel inbound and still got no bullets.
And the primers used were cci450s and fed 205's. Both are fine in my BR brass
I like to hear that. I have about 8 weeks before my new 1-7 25-06 is here.
I'm just hoping it doesn't spin 120 partitions to death as that's been my go-to deer and elk bullet for years.
We took partial shipment of the bullet run this week so we could get them out to everyone quicker. All orders that are already submitted will be shipped by Tuesday and hopefully our website will be back up by then for new orders.
Nothing wrong with using what you know but the 131's have proven 100% fatal with no tracking required on Game Animals. Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Hogs, and coyotes.
Now that's a bearing surface
Long and skinnyNow that's a bearing surface
Looks like the .224 95 SMK
They were supposed to be able to sell them a few weeks ago. They are having problems with payment processing. It's out of their hands at this point is my understanding. Alot of red tape to find a new company to process stuff for firearms. In other words the liberals are making it difficult to buy things associated with our sport online. Hopefully for them it will be up and running soon as I know it's killing a huge amount of sales. Plenty of BB's to sell but no way to do it. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.Anyone have any updates on when the ace will be available again?

eventually people realize what you're selling and the ever changing climate. some orgs change their stance on things like firarms.How were they able to sell in the first place?
PayPal. But PayPal has decided not to do business with any company related to firearms. It's happened to alot of businesses that were using their service. PayPal has tied up money for in some cases 6 months or more before releasing it. I will personally never use their service again for anything. Liberals!How were they able to sell in the first place?

start mailing money orders, folks. Bypass all them fuckers. May be a couple days extra wait, but better than waiting on some ass hat to allow BJ to sell their product.
if you need more testers haha i'm always up for loading funky stuff and don't mind a little extra recoilThanks for the patience guys. These anti-2A companies froze up our OPS but not nearly as bad as some of the other companies I've talked to in terms of time-frame and totals.
Anyhow, we are back up and running and we are shipping out A LOT of orders.
I saw a few comments about the fast twist-barrel life concern.
Talking with lots of guys on the phone you hear two concerns - Loss of MV and loss of barrel life.
We sold some very fast twist Rock Creek blanks for 6.5 years ago in anticipation of heavier-for-caliber bullets coming down the pipe - one of which should finally be released next month.
At that time 7 twist 6.5 blanks didn't hardly exist and a few guys were worried. Just like high performance 25 cal, some guys like to try new things and those blanks shot even faster than 8 twist with 25x47s in the same barrel lengths for whatever combination of factors. Barrel life differences - completely indeterminable.
We recommend blanks that will be completely stable to sea level and at least to freezing or under. If a guy is so concerned with twist rate please order what you need for adequate stability, but we are not going to stock blanks that will be marginally stable on temperature and altitude swings.
We have some cool things coming down the pipe but here's a sneak peak of the one I am most excited about.
257 Blackjack - cruise control at 3200 fps - more updates in the coming weeks.
We have a solid collective of testers on this one and I'm chomping at the bit to get them out in the field!

I’m sure it’s been covered, and working my way through reading the entire thread, but
What kind of barrel life are people seeing with 25cm or 25xc?
How many rounds before the first velocity drop? And how many rounds before accuracy falls off?
So the 257 blackjack looks like a 6BR necked up?

Its prob a .257 PRC or saum
Looks like a Sherman creation to me?
Ok you got me,thought it was the SST!nah, it's a good bit shorter
It looks more like the WSM shortened a bit. Left a longer neck on it. Which is a good thing.Nobody I know of has burnt a barrel yet and I've got my eye on most of the sources of 25 cal information. Best estimates of barrel life are between 6 Creed and 6.5 Creed. I always like to say closer to 6.5 Creed because of increasing diameter causing a proportionally larger increase in bore surface area and volume, but it's just speculation.
The 257 Blackjack is definitely a magnum bolt face. BR capacity wouldn't get it near 3200 fps
