25x47 Lapua

[nakneker]

don't discount Varget as a possible powder Seems to work well in my 25 x 47L with 135's

Varget is the powder my 6.5x47 likes, just ran a couple ladders in my 25x47 and it definitely likes H4350 better. I agree though, don’t over look varget in this case.

I emailed Hornady on load data for the 25 Creed, and they said they were working on it. Kind of surprised they already didn’t have it ready .

Anyone have load data with powders other than the mentioned powders here with 130 weight class bullets for the 25 X 47 ? Thanks in advance.

Not 100 percent sure but I thought Randy Robinette has or has had something like this. Maybe reach out to him?

He does, he’s posted in the past about it. I believe he shot some competition with it and maybe a deer or two but I’m not positive. He usually chimes in when this chambering is mentioned. I’ve been using his 210gr in mine, excellent bullet. Hopefully he offers them again at some point in the future.

I found that my 30-06 also likes H4350 just a bit better than Varget behind a Sierra 165 Game King. A bit less vertical and a bit tighter groups.
I hope you all have plenty of powder of what ever sort of Hodgdon’s range as it is almost all made by ADI in Australia and with today’s announced tariffs it will only get more expensive…. The same goes for Lapua and Norma brass… {:~/

My first 24x47L barrel is all done and spun up, waiting to pick it up this friday and I'll be doing some load development soon.
Got a bunch of already necked/fireformed Lapua brass and I'll be shooting 135 hybrids for PRS. Gonna test Varget and H4350 to see if either groups better than the other (or meters better). Targeting 2700 fps, that seems to be the sweet spot for PRS bros.

You may want to consider some RL15.5 if you can get your hands on some.

Hello. Usually I just read the forums, but I am putting a rifle together for long range fun and would like to see more results on the 25 x 47L as that is what I'm building. Should have all the parts next week.
I have the Impact 737R and a stutesvillie m24 barrelspun on. Waiting for stock, trigger and rings.
Thanks to everyone for posting and sharing.

Will have my 25 X 47 up and running soon. Barreled action is coming this week and Bcz the paint wizard will be getting my stock as well this week. Plan to post all load data and results here asap.

I have my parts just waiting on my place in line at the Smith... Than off to load development ...

Those of you running a .180" freebore in your 25x47 - what kind of jump are you using? About .075-.080" is as close as I can get and try to hold the bullet. Dropped a couple out trying to go .065". Nobody enjoys that - especially at a match.

Im not sure. They are partners with Impact precision shooting. Under products, 3rd line down has "Impact by Stutesvillie products". I looked when buying my action and they had the 26" M24 25 x 47 chambered and ready to go with 288 Neck Dia. and .180 Freebore. The barrel looks good and Im sure they want good barrels to help sell the actions. I jumpped in with both feet.
