.25 WSSM for MOR

[TMC]

The specs are 120grn bullets at 2990fps at the muzzle with a .344 BC according to the propaganda. they also have 85grn, 110's and 115's at 3470, 3100 and 3060 respectively.

Any thoughts?

It can be had in the AR platform.

Here's a comparison of some popular loads. I had to guess at the MV's for 25WSSM.

I think I would neck that sucker up to 6.5.

I bought a Winchester Model 70 Stealth in 25 WSSM and really like it. I've so far only shot Sierra 115 BT in it and am still working up loads. So Reloder 19 seems to be the best powder. I have gotten 3020 fps with it and bolt thrust is not a problem. XMR4350 has given highest velocity at 3068 fps. However bolt was alittle hard to open. I have noticed with these short mags that bolt thrust is going to be a problem with most loads that are near max. I think the 6.5 WSSM would be better because of bullet availabiltiy.
