25 Remington data
« on: October 22, 2008, 04:37:24 PM »
Looking for reload data on the 25 Remington. 

Handloader Magazine featured this cartridge in issues 46, 187, & 231.  If anyone has any of these issues and wouldn't mind sharing the data for the 25 Remington it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

bullet,  chg wt.  powder,  primer,  velocity,  Remarks (by Ken Waters)

87 Sierra Spz.,  30.0  IMR-3031,  Fed. 210, 2824 fps,  Most accurate
oal = 2.56

100 Sierra Spz.,  30.0  IMR-4064,  CCI 200,  2613 fps,  Best all around hunting load
100 Sierra Spz.,  25.0  N-201,  Norma,  2316 fps,  Most accurate 100 gr load
100 Sierra Spz.,  28.0  IMR-3031,  CCI 200,  2579 fps,  Average accuracy
oal = 2.56

117 Sierra F.B. Spz., 26.5  IMR-3031,  Fed. 210,  2344 fps,  Fastest 117 gr load; good accuracy
117 Sierra F.B. Spz.,  25.0  IMR-4895,  CCI 200,  2074 fps,  Most accurate 117 gr load
oal = 2.58

Remington cases in all instances.

These are Ken Waters' Pet Loads from Handloader.  He doesn't say where they fall in min-max, so they need to be checked against a manual.  To be used for reference only (typos happen).

Hope this helps,
Curtis

Thanks for the information.  I'll verify the information.  I think a friend of mine has Ken Waters Pet Loads book.
