Any 25prc powder advice?

[Longranger81]

I built a 25 prc for hunting rifle. It does great with 134 eldm and N565 powder, but when I drop down to 101g Barnes lrx with same powder it doesn’t really gain much velocity. I want to try a faster powder like H4350 or something along those lines to get more speed with lighter bullets. Any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated. Edited to add it is a 23” barrel

RL26 is likely going to be one of your top performers with regard to velocity but unless you already have some finding any without having to sell a kidney or taking out a mortgage on your house will be nearly impossible.

Having said that I'd look for some 7828ssc which has been a powder that is typically not all that difficult to find and should get you in the 3350-ish range with those Barnes 101's.

Just out of curiosity what's your velocity? Mine has a 27" barrel and I was in the 3100-3150 range with that combo. I tried N560 but it tuned 50 fps slower. I haven't tried any light bullets yet.

The 134’s were around 3100 and the 101 were just over 3200

3100 in a 25-6.5PRC and 23in barrel w/134's is pretty darn good. I'm just barely at 3200 with 134's in my 25 SAUM using 22in barrel and the RSAUM has a fair bit more case capacity then does the 6.5 PRC case.

I just got done trying H4350 with the 101g bullets it brought it to life for sure got it up to 3650fps slight pressure there, but down in the 3550-3600 range no pressure signs
