25x47 Lapua

[tbair]

I have really been enjoying this cartridge so I thought I would share my findings.

26" Benchmark 1-7"
lapua brass
CCI 450
40.25 gr. H4350
Berger 133
2890 Ave. Velocity.

I have experimented with 6.5 staball and with 41.5 grains i have reached velocities of 2960 fps. I cannot get this powder to behave consistently. I wish I could because it would be awesome.

I would love to hear anyone else's info.

Thanks!

I’ve also been really enjoying this cartridge.

Terminus Zeus
27” crb 1:7.5 twist
Lapua brass
Br4’s
38.9gr rl16 at 2780fps,
35.9gr of varget at 2775fps

I’ve tested 3 diffeeent powders, 2 different bullets and my buddy tested a 4th powder and everything seemed to show a node between 2760-2790. There was area’s lower and higher but every combo shown something here.

Run it up to 2940fps and as low as 2650fps
