Hornady .257" 134 ELD-M

I wonder how they would fit in a 25-06? My Mauser's magbox is only 3.400" long.
 
What kind velocity are you getting for accuracy loads, Sykes?
I haven't found THE load yet, still shooting the handloads from the previous owner. They are going 3230fps with H1000. Sent the barrel back to TS Customs to have the chamber opened up to their specd reamer, similar to the AW2 reamer.
 
Just did a rough pressure ladder. PLEASE don't duplicate without working up in your own rifle.

I wanted to see how the eldm would compare to my well established Berger 135 load

25 creedmoor tikka action 26" PBB prefit 1:7 twist. Has about 800 rounds on the barrel.

Current load is 43.2gr N555 in lapua SRP with CCI #41 going 2920fps

I pulled 5 of these loads to run a pressure ladder with the new ELDs.

Had to turn my seating die to seat these deeper, they are longer than the Berger's. They are just kissing the lands. Again just roughing it in to get an idea. Have a fresh prefit ready to spin on when I burn this barrel out.

N555
40gr. 2665
41gr 2775
42gr 2863
43gr 2923
44gr 2991 ***slight ejector mark and a hint of heavier bolt lift here

Probably will run in the 43-44 range. Lowest two holes on the target are 43 and 44.

Almost identical to my 135gr Berger pressure ladder. This is with my magneto speed hanging off the end. I have no doubt they will group well with this combo.

Graf has them in stock again

 
Tuff choice.
I chose PRC because I already have a 6.5GAP4's and I don't want to share it's brass , lol. Hopefully I can get some matches in with the new PRC as well. I went with a 1.25 tube
 
Anybody seeing much difference in the 133 EH and the 135 LRHT?
My gun seems exceptionally finicky with the 133 out to 300.
Havent made it further than that yet.
3150-3200fps
Awesome job Sykes!
