Where's all the new 25 caliber bullets?

Ok. My barrel is on the way. I should be testing by May. I have RL23/26. H4831sc and H4350. Thinking the RL23/26 will be the key powders. I'll be happy to get accuracy at 3150
Should have no problem with any of those. H4350 would be the only marginal powder for those speeds, maybe a bit too fast burning. I really want to try all of the others you mentioned, but haven’t been able to get my hands on any.

Keep your nose down. Powder Valley has been getting them in sporadically.
 
I have had a few conversations with Berger, and I keep getting "soon". Right now I have the 131gr Blackjack - but I would love to see another 125gr or 127gr offering.
I agree on 125 or so. Not particularly looking for the super long vld. something more than 117 but less than 133 etc.
 
I tend to lean towards the 115gr Ballistic Tip or the Berger VLD for hunting.

On the heavier weight side of things.

Hornady released their 134gr ELDM.
Blackhole has a line of heavy weight ULD, 25 caliber bullets.

And I'm hearing rumors that Sierra is waiting on legal affairs to bring out their version of the 131 Blackjack Ace.

Sure love for that last paragraph to be an accurate one. Even tho I found the Berger's 133/135 to be as good, the Hornady 134 will definitely be equal, it'll be nice to have 4 good heavy .257 bullets available readily OTC or online.
 
If we're going to dream, I like you idea of a .257 140gr A-Tip w/.750-ish BC. Who knows, maybe soon it won't just a dream...... :)
Yes that thought came after they introduced the new 134 ELD. That previous comment was hoping for a heavy .257 from Hornady. Now that they rolled out the 134, I can see a 140+ A Tip in their future.
