Where's all the new 25 caliber bullets?

std7mag

I keep hearing hints about new 25 caliber bullets, but have as yet to see any.

Latest one i've seen actually come out was the 110gr Hornady ELDX.

Any more?

That’s why Berger needs to hurry up and bring those long range drill bits that @Romulus was hinting at to market. Not that I have any problems with his 131Ace, it would just be fun to try another offering at 3100ish FPS!

Honestly I feel you there, but I’m so happy with the 131’s it doesn’t make any difference to me personally. It would be nice if my barrel didn’t like the ace but they just so easy to tune, very easy on seating depths, and just hammer target snd game
 
Yeah, i think i'll stop by Cutting Edge Bullets on Monday too.
They are local to me.
Heck they sponsor KO2M.
Should be no reason they can't put a couple in the lathe.
Of course i'd need to order a barrel to be able to shoot them.
Now if their prices would come down....

There was a 25 Caliber 133 gr Elite Hunter bullet on the Berger Website this morning, I looked at the specs on it. Now it is gone.

I went to my history and found the link, now I get this.

How about a SA257 !! That ol' .284 Win case has lots of
potential when put under the knife.....LOL
 
Nothing new. They don't announce a new bullet and send it to distributors the next day. Especially Berger. They take months and years in some cases to show up. Still waiting on the 329 grain 338 bullet that they announced well over a year ago

O ye, of little faith :)

I'm really not much of a quarter bore guy so it doesn't really matter all that much to me but I'd be lying if I didn't admit a 25-284 with .650 BC would probably be pretty fun. Stretched out and a +P throat with RL26 or N565 even in a 26in tube maybe 3250-ish +/- with that kind of BC wouldn't be to shabby for the little ole non magnum 284 case. I'm sure the 257Wby or 25 WSM folks could launch them another 100-100+ fps faster but they'd also be doing it with somewhere around ten grains more powder too. Probably why I seem to like all things 284.

In a XM/Mauser length/Long action the good ole Ackley ‘Bob will run the 131 Ace to 3200’ with a .150FB in a 7.5tw 25” tube. Glad to see some new options might pan out soon

.25 Cal 110 Gr. TGK - Sierra Bullets

Sierra has had many requests for this bullet from our many quarter-bore friends. The tipped 110 gr. bullet offers an excellent medium-heavy weight hunting bullet with high B.C. The tipped design provides for a bullet that will be flat shooting and initiate good expansion. The heavily constructed...
